I want to be able to run a periodic task within a certain timeframe every day, for example, between 8 AM and 11 AM. I'm not sure how I can do this with PeriodicTask, because you cannot specify a specific time of day.

I stumbled across this example, but it uses Evernote's Android-Job library. Is there a way to achieve this with GCMNetworkManager specifically?

No, this is not possible with GCMNetworkManager.

However, this level of time gating can be achieved with the Awareness API as of the February 2017 - v.10.2 by registering a TimeFence (more specifically, the inDailyInterval() method).
