The common ways to sleep in java, only counts cpu time on the Android platform. So a Thread.sleep(60 * 1000); may become 5 or 10 minutes if the phone is in standby, since it only counts when the cpu is awake.
afaik you need to use AlarmManager to get called when the phone is in standby. Even a handler postDelayed wont work, as that is also wake time.
