You can use the TimerTask class with the postDelayed method.

private TimerTask mTask = new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            //Whatever you want
          postDelayed(this, REPEAT_INTERVAL);   // rinse and repeat...
        }
    };

And in your OnCreate launching the TimerTask for first time:

postDelayed(mTask, INITIAL_DELAY);
