You could use a PendingIntent like this - 

Intent intent = new Intent(CUSTOM_INTENT);
    LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    PendingIntent launchIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 5000, intent, 0);

    manager.requestLocationUpdates(selectProvider(), 0, 0, launchIntent);

Your broadcast receiver should have an intent filter for the CUSTOM_INTENT in the manifest file
