Sure you can do this... The TimerTask class can be used for that. This can be the procedure:
1-first write a midlet class and create a timer and date instance
2-second, write a class by extending TimerTask and write what to do periodically.
3- declare the period or schedule for the extenden TimerTask. It will work in its period until the main application comes end. (you can handle it)

You can set the date and time to today and declare the period of that. So it will be a schedule task

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example:
public class yourMidlet extends javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet {
Timer timer = new Timer();
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
date.set(Calendar.HOUR, 0);
date.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
date.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
date.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);

timer.schedule(
deneme,
date.getTime(),
1000 * 30 * 1 * 1 * 1//in every thirty seconds
);

notifyDestroyed();//to destroy the midlet (will be after the app)

}


================================================================
public class connectGPRS extends TimerTask {
public void run(){
//WHAT YOU WILL DO WIL BE WRITTEN HERE
}
}
