Fetching user location in background and uploading it to web server (trying to avoid using Service)

问题

My application is based on Google Map and Location which includes client-server communications. Apart from all that, periodically I want to update the user location to web server. I gave thought myself and ended up with below two scenarios,

First One : I use Service class to fetch user location periodically (considering 2-3 hours once) and update to server. Ideally I want to avoid this! Because just to upload user location its not good to run the service all the time is what I feel.

Second Thought : I can use IntentService to fetch the user location periodically (considering same 2-3 hours) and update to web server. Here IntentService will be invoked by an AlarmManager. That is every 2-3 hours once alarm manager will start IntentService.

But I feel using AlarmManager for 2-3 hours once is not a good idea too.

I want to understand which one will be efficient and more relevant! Whether this scenario can be implemented in any other approach? If so help me do it!

Thanks in advance...
