Periodically long running background task

Question

I would like to perform the following tasks on every 30 minutes interval -

During this time, the app may/may not be in front.

My question is, is IntentService a good idea to execute the above tasks? Or, any other idea?

I think you are trying to build a sync mechanism. Best approach would be using Sync Adapters which is designed for these situations.

But for using sync adapters, you need to change your login mechanism to work with AbstractAccountAuthenticator if you are not on it.

Good luck
