For those who want to send a request to server periodically, this is my solution. You should have this in your Activity or Fragment Activity

{
private static final Long UPDATE_LOCATION_TIME  = 30 * 60 * 1000l; // 30 minute

private AlarmManager alarm;
private PendingIntent pIntent; 
...

@Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        // Run background service in order to update users location
        startUserLocationService();

        Log.e(TAG, "onResume");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStop() {
        super.onStop();

        stopUserLocationService();

        Log.e(TAG, "onStop");
    }

private void startUserLocationService() {
        Log.i(TAG, "Starting service...");
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainFragmentHolder.this, ServiceUserLocation.class);
        pIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, intent, 0);

        alarm = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), UPDATE_LOCATION_TIME, pIntent);
    }

    private void stopUserLocationService() {
        alarm.cancel(pIntent);
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainFragmentHolder.this, ServiceUserLocation.class);
        stopService(intent);
    }

}
