how to show the dialog in certain interval of time in all activity?

Question

In my application am going to show the dialog in particular time interval,for the time interval am using runnable method in separate class.

My runnable method class

public class Timeout_function{

Handler mHandler;
Activity activity;

public Timeout_function(Activity activity,Handler mHandler) {
    super();
    this.activity = activity;
    this.mHandler = mHandler;

}

Runnable first_Task = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {


        dialog = new Dialog(activity);
        if(isShown){
            dialog.dismiss();
            dialog_msgs = "Your order is going to Expired. You want to continue.";
            dialogs();
        }
        else
        {
            dialog_msgs = "Your order is going to Expired. You want to continue.";
            dialogs();
        }

        mHandler.removeCallbacks(first_Task);
    }
    }
};

Runnable second_Task = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {





                dialog = new Dialog(activity);
                if(isShown){
                    dialog.dismiss();
                    dialog_msgs = "Your order is going to Expired. You want to continue.";
                    dialogs();
                }
                else
                {
                    dialog_msgs = "Your order is going to Expired. You want to continue.";
                    dialogs();
                }

            mHandler.removeCallbacks(second_Task);

    }
};

// just as an example, we'll start the task when the activity is started
public void onStart() {

    Time_out = 1;
    mHandler.postDelayed(first_Task, 2 * 30 * 1000);
}

public void onStart_extend(){
    mHandler.postDelayed(second_Task, 1 * 30 * 1000);
}

// at some point in your program you will probably want the handler to stop (in onStop is a good place)
public void onStop() {

        mHandler.removeCallbacks(first_Task);   
        mHandler.removeCallbacks(second_Task);

}


//Error Messages

public void dialogs(){

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(activity.getAssets(), "fonts/CALIBRI.TTF");;
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0));
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_timeout);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
isShown=true;

TextView tv_msg = (TextView)dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialog_texts);
tv_msg.setTypeface(font);
tv_msg.setText(""+dialog_msgs);

Button no =(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialog_no);
no.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        dialog.dismiss();
        order_list_remove();
        Time_out = 0;
        //onStop();
    }
});

Button yes =(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialog_yes);
yes.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        onStart_extend();
        dialog.dismiss();
    }
});
dialog.show();
}
}

I have activity A,B,C am going to start this runnable method only in activity b like

Timeout_function time_out ;
Handler mHandler;
mHandler = new Handler();
time_out = new Timeout_function(activityb.this, mHandler);
time_out.onStart();

this way,i want show the dialog in certain interval of time.If user in activity A means show the dialog in Activity A same as like in B and c,I don't know how to show the dialog in all activity.Can any one one know please help me to solve this problem.

use a service to maintain the dialog showing in interval

Use an dialog activity. you can create it same as activity. use following in manifest

    android:excludeFromRecents="true"
    android:launchMode="singleInstance"
    android:taskAffinity=""
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"

now from service when on interval start the dialog activity like regular activity.
