This finally worked for me. Download the CWAC-WakefulIntentService.jar from https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-wakeful

add a class in your project

import com.commonsware.cwac.wakeful.WakefulIntentService;

public class WakeService extends WakefulIntentService {

    public WakeService(String name) {

        super(name);

    }
    @Override
    protected void doWakefulWork(Intent intent) {
    }
}

now add the following line in your code where ever you want to repeat the loop and wake the device up

WakefulIntentService.sendWakefulWork(this, S_WS_WakeService.class);
