As the others have said, use the AlarmManager. A couple of other things which may be of use to you if your process takes a long time
Use the PowerManager to get and aquire a WakeLock - this will stop the phone from going to sleep whilst you're doing stuff. Use the WifiManager to get and aquire a WifiLock - this will keep the wireless connected whilst you're doing stuff. Don't forget to release the WakeLock and WifiLock when you're done.
