Yes sure you can see the example

    public class MyService extends IntentService {

    public MyService(String name) {
        super("");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent arg0) {
        sendEmail();
    }

    public void sendEmail() {
        try {
            String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
            String address = "biraj@gmail.com";
            String from = "biraj@gmial.com";
            String pass = "biraj123";
            String to = "akash@gmail.com";

            Multipart multiPart;
            String finalString = "";

            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
            props.put("mail.smtp.user", address);
            props.put("mail.smtp.password", pass);
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587");
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
            props.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "imaps");
            Log.i("Check", "done pops");
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
            Store store = session.getStore();
            store.connect(host, address, pass);

            DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(finalString.getBytes(), "text/plain"));
            MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
            message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            message.setDataHandler(handler);
            Log.i("Check", "done sessions");
            multiPart = new MimeMultipart();
            InternetAddress toAddress;
            toAddress = new InternetAddress(to);
            message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
            Log.i("Check", "added recipient");
            message.setSubject("Send Auto-Mail");
            message.setContent(multiPart);
            message.setText("Demo For Sending Mail in Android Automatically");
            Log.i("check", "transport");
            Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
            Log.i("check", "connecting");
            transport.connect(host, address, pass);
            Log.i("check", "wana send");
            transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
            transport.close();
            Log.i("check", "sent");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

NOTE:

No need to make separate thread or asynctask. Put the code directly that you want to execute in onHandleIntent() method.

Service will stop itself as task gets completed.
