For the scheduling part you can use the AlarmManager

For instance:

public class TaskScheduler {
    public static void startScheduling(Context context) {

            Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyReceiver.class);
            PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
            AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
            alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), 600, pendingIntent);

    }
}

Then inside your receiver class you can start an IntentService:

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {    
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Intent intentService = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
        context.startService(intentService);
    }
}

MyServicelooks roughly like:

class MyService extends IntentService {
    public MyService() { 
        super(MyService.class.getSimpleName());
    }

    @Override
    public void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        // your code goes here
    }
}

And finally, don't forget to register MyReceiver in the manifest file:

<receiver 
   android:name="Your.Package.MyReceiver">
</receiver>

As well as your service:

<service 
   android:name="...">
</service>
