Question

I need a command that can perform something, lets say on 7:00 AM every day.

Is it possible?

I would appreciate if you could give me some code samples

Thank you!

Yes, you need the AlarmManager class, you create an intent and a calendar object (set to the time you want), then use AlarmManager to run the intent at that time (using setRepeating to make it repeat every day)

Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(),
                                some_service.class);
                        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent
                                .getService(getBaseContext(), 0, intent, 0);


                        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
                        // Cancel all previous alarms of the same type
                        alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);


                        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
                        Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();

                        calendar.add(Calendar.HOUR, 24);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 07);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00);
                        calendar.set(Calendar.SECOND, 00);

                        // Set alarm manager to run at selected time
                        // each day
                        alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC,
                                calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
                                AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
