I am using a timer in my app. I wish to vary the interval or period
with which the timer task runs. Like when my app is being used the
timer task is scheduled at say 1 sec while the moment user exits the
app the service changes the timer to 5 seconds.

Currently, I am cancelling the previous timer and create a new timer
instance with new period. I dont know if this is efficient way to do
it because for some reason the timer messes up and it sometimes hits
more than twice per second..when its suppose to hit every 5 seconds.

Is there a better way to vary the interval or period by using the same
timer variable through out?

My Timer is in the service which I have created to run in the
background.
