Just Use AlarmManager to shoot an intent to invoke your service again after its done with its code.

You can use java.util.Timer

Timer timer = new Timer();

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
           startEveryMinTask();
        }, 60000, 60000); // 60000 milliseconds = 1 minute

    return START_STICKY;
}
