For "how to work with services", see

Here is a clear solution that focus on "every 10 minutes" part using AlarmManager: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10222390/2591556

Answer 2

Assuming you have a Running Service

User AlarmManager to run Service every 10 minutes

   AlarmManager am=(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
         Intent i = new Intent(context, YourService.class);
         PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
         am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 600000, pi); // Millisec * Second * Minute
     }

Answer 3

You can do by using service as follows

@Override
  public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            //performe the deskred task
        }
    }, 10minutes time in milisecods);

      // If we get killed, after returning from here, restart
      return START_STICKY;
  }

This service will get started automatically even if app get killed, and postdelayed will run

You can use the Alarm manager which will be called after every 10 mins

        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        Random random = new Random();
        int m = random.nextInt(9999 - 1000) + 1000;

        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent("android.media.action.DISPLAY_NOTIFICATION");
        notificationIntent.setClass(this,AlarmReceiver_.class);
        notificationIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");

        PendingIntent broadcast = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(YourClass.this, m, notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
                SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 300000L,
                600000L, broadcast);

ManiFest receiver Code where you will get a receiver response

<receiver android:name="com.yourpackage.AlarmReceiver_"

        >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.media.action.DISPLAY_NOTIFICATION" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.REBOOT" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />

        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

You will have to create Receiver where you will receive data as an above-specified name of AlarmReceiver_.class

Answer 5

you could write a background Service: Running in a Background Service

and start the service every 10-11 min (cause of AlarmManager power saving behaviour), or with exact timing (needs to shedule next execution every time) with AlarmManager.setExact

Example:

private static PendingIntent createClockIntent(Context context) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(context.getString(R.string.widget_broadcast_clock_update));
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context.getApplicationContext(), 1,
                intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
        return pendingIntent;
    }

    public static void startClockAlarm(Context context) {
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context
                .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        clockIntent = createClockIntent(context);
        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, 0,
                600000, clockIntent);
    }
