code flow should be like this

1.Create an alarmmanger like 

  AlarmManager alarmanager=alarmanager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
  Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,DialogService.class);
  PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),0,intent , 0);
  alarmanager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
                        System.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY * 3,
                        pendingIntent );

2.Create a service DialogService

Here u create dialog in onStartCommand

Use SharedPreferences.

Before displaying the dialog check the preferences to get the time that it was last displayed. If it's been more than three days, display the dialog and set a new time in SharedPrefs.

long time = sharedPrefs.getLong("displayedTime", 0);
if (time < System.currentTimeMillis() - 259200000) {
   displayDialog();
   prefsEditor.putLong("displayedTime", System.currentTimeMillis()).commit();
}
