Well, it depends on what values you have for time. If you are sleeping for 100ms, you definitely don't want to use AlarmManager, as piotrpo suggests. However, if you are sleeping for several minutes, then AlarmManager is appropriate.

AlarmManger and PendingIntents impose big overheads, so be careful with using them.

Alarm manager is not designed to something like that. .sleep() is also not good. Please read about Timer and Handler classes.
