    In onNear i would like to start a chronometer and do something if the object is still near the sensor when chronometer reaches 5 seconds.

    Chronometer is a widget. It is part of the user interface. Services do not have a user interface. Services do not use widgets. Services do not use Chronometer.

    Use Timer and TimerTask to get control after five seconds within a service.
