Have you tried using the Alarm Manager? You can do the following to update location periodically:

1.Register an alarm manager that will call a service every 30 mins.

2.Make sure you acquire a wake lock so that the device wakes up from sleep.

3.The alarm manager takes a pending intent which in turn calls a BroadcastReciever/Service when the alarm is triggered.

4.From this BroadCastReciever call the Service to that will update your location. Check this question for the complete code.Also this.
