I'd use the service with alarm manager

   I    Intent updateIntent = new Intent(ACTION_UPDATE_ALL);
        updateIntent.setClass(this, UpdateService.class);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, updateIntent, 0);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, nextUpdate, pendingIntent);
