I think with Ringtone You will have no success. There is a little post on looping ringtones here:

http://xanderx.com/2010/08/25/making-ringtones-loop-on-android/

but I have not tested it. Instead, You can use MediaPlayer for looping and create a custom countdown timer that stops the mediaPlayer onFinished(). But this is only one possible solution....

        try {

     Uri ringtoneAlert =  RingtoneManager.
        getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

         mRingtoneLooper = new MediaPlayer();
         mRingtoneLooper.setDataSource(this, ringtoneAlert);

     final AudioManager audioRingtoneManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

     if (audioRingtoneManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING) != 0) {

            mRingtoneLooper.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
            mRingtoneLooper.setLooping(true);
            mRingtoneLooper.prepare();
            mRingtoneLooper.start();

            //start custom countdown timer for 60 seconds, counts every second down
            //counting every second down is not necessary, You could even set every 5 seconds or whatever You want

            RingtoneStopper stopper = new RingToneStopper(60000,1000);
            stopper.start();
       }
     } catch(Exception e) {

      //do some message to user if some error occurs
   } 

     //define a countdown timer for 60 seconds that stops the MediaPlayer


        public class RingtoneStopper extends CountDownTimer{

             public RingtoneStopper(long millisInFuture, long countDownInterval) {
                  super(millisInFuture, countDownInterval);
              }

                   @Override
                     public void onFinish() {
                        mRingtoneLooper.stop();
                 }

                   @Override
             public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                  //need nothing to do on tick events
                 }
                }

Please check this code i think this will helps you.

Ringtone _ringtone =  RingtoneManager.getRingtone(context, notification);
Timer _start_ringtone = new Timer();
    while (_ringtone!=null) {
if(!_ringtone.isPlaying()){
        _ringtone.play();
}
    }
    _start_ringtone.schedule(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            _ringtone.stop();
_ringtone=null;
        }
    }, 60000);
