The service you are looking to use here is a broadcast service, which broadcast how much time has been passed after button has been pressed. So you can have a broadcast service, which has a CountDownTimer for counting down 1hr time. Then you can broadcast the message (containing the points) after a particular time (like after each minute or seconds or after an hour) based on your need. In your fragment/activity you will have an broadcast listener, which will listen to the broadcasted messages (points) and update the UI. You can refer to https://stackoverflow.com/a/22498307/5309486 answer for the implementation details.
