PeriodicTask

public class PeriodicTask extends Task

This class is deprecated.
As of November 1, 2020, GCMNetworkManager client libraries are no longer supported. GCMNetworkManager API calls no longer work on devices running Android M and later once your app targets future Android versions ( > Android 10).
Migrate to Jetpack WorkManager for your background scheduling needs.

A periodic task is one that will recur at the specified interval, without needing to be rescheduled. Schedule a task that will recur until the user calls one of cancelAllTasks(Class), or cancelTask(String, Class) with an identifying tag.

Periodic tasks will not be scheduled if their period is below a certain minimum (currently 30 seconds).
