title: Android - periodically wake up from standby mode?
body: <p>I have an app that needs to send a periodic heart beat to a server, but when the phone goes into standby mode the background heartbeat thread dies. Is there anyway to wake the phone from standby, send the heartbeat and then go back to sleep programmatically? I want to avoid using PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK if possible.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
