Answer 1

You can use AlarmManager to make Android call your app at a specific time. You can do this pretty simple like this:

AlarmManager.set( AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 
TWENTY_SECONDS, yourPendingIntent )

Then you should register a BroadcastReceiver which will allow Android to send that intent to your application at specified time.
