If you are using Timer to manage your Application, I would insist that you should use AlarmManager which is an inbuilt Android Facility that Android knows better. In Timer the problem can be that when Android seeks resources for any other Application or something like that it may kill your Timer thread and get the resources where as it won't kill the AlarmManager service that is running because that is what Android knows. You can check my question here to get further idea.
