            String data = c.getString(TAG_DATA);
            final String dataaaa = rcdata.getText().toString().trim();
            HashMap<String, String> user_data = new HashMap<String, String>();

                new String[]{TAG_DATA},
                new int[]{R.id.data}

Use a Handler and its postDelayed method to invalidate the list's adapter as follows:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed( new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        handler.postDelayed( this, 5000 );
    }
}, 5000 );

You must only update UI in the main (UI) thread.

you can see this question and comment How to refresh/Update Serialize Java Object in sharedPreferences. the user want the same. however it is good to use loader with service for that kind of problem calling asyncTask within minute is not good. also theres is a sample project you can check this https://github.com/Michenux/YourAppIdea also available in playstore which check for data changes from server.
