How can I implement a timer to start inside the alarm receiver even after the application exits?

I used Alarm Service. I ran an alarm to start every 1 minute. So the onReceive of the broadcast receiver gets called even after the application exits. I want to implement a timer inside this onReceive method. I have to start tracking location and wait 20 seconds after that, I have to stop tracking location.

I tried below,

TimerTask
Handler
Local Broadcast Receiver

      

        
        
        
      

    

But all of the above doesn't work as soon as the application exits.

Inside the alarm receiver, I want to implement a timer to wait 20 seconds.
How can I achieve this when the application is in a complete state?

My AlaramReceiver onReceive method:

 @Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    mContext = context;
    mSharedPrefManager = SharedPrefManager.getInstance(mContext);

    mAppUtilInstance.logDebugMessage(TAG, "Track interval alarm receiver.");

    // // Check the preference having any current activity
    if (mSharedPrefManager.checkForCurrentActivityPref()) {
        userActivity = mSharedPrefManager.getCurrentUserActivityPref();

        if (mSharedPrefManager.getIsUserMovedPref()) {
            // User MOVED
            // Call the location service
            LocationUpdateTimer locationUpdateTimer = new LocationUpdateTimer(
            mContext, userActivity, true);
                locationUpdateTimer.initialize();
            mSharedPrefManager.setIsUserMovedPref(false);
        } else {
            // User not MOVED in between the track interval period. He is
            // IDLE
            // Check whether the location information is returned by the
            // google API
            if (mSharedPrefManager.checkForLocationEntityPref()
                    && mSharedPrefManager.getLocationEntityPref()
                            .getLatitude().length() > 0) {
                // Send the packet information to the Fleetilla server
                StoreAndSendLocationInformation storeAndSendLocationInformation = new StoreAndSendLocationInformation(
                        mContext,
                        mSharedPrefManager.getLocationEntityPref(),
                        userActivity);
                storeAndSendLocationInformation.storeAndSend();
            } else {
                // If the location information is not available
                mAppUtilInstance
                        .logDebugMessage(TAG,
                                "Location information is not generated to store and send.");
            }
        }
    }
}
