I don't think it's valid to start a Thread in a BroadcastReceiver. The system doesn't know anything about that thread, so it wouldn't know that it's supposed to keep the process hosting it around. My app nanoTweeter does similar background polling and I acquire the WakeLock in the BroadcastReceiver and then start a Service. That service releases the lock when it's done.
