You probably realize that just seizing a WakeLock for a long time is a really, really horrible idea, yes? Given that, it isn't clear what you are actually trying to do. Obviously, your service can't run when the device is asleep....
You can use the Alarm Manager in RTC_WAKEUP<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html#RTC_WAKEUP> mode, to cause the device to be awakened, periodically, to run your service. If you do that, you may have to seize a WakeLock to keep the device awake until your service has completed its task and is ready to let the device go back to sleep... G.
