the following code help you,firstWake the app will run at very fast time,you can specify as your requirements

AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

long interval = android.text.format.DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS*20;//or 30

long firstWake = System.currentTimeMillis() ;

am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC,firstWake, interval, pendingIntent);
