How to use Alarm Manager for repeating method execute function?

Question

I used the AlarmManager as such ,

  Intent intent = new Intent(G.context, ActivityAlarm.class);
  intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(G.context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

I don't want to open an Activity just execute a static/non-static method during this time interval.

 Intent intent = new Intent(G.context, **my method**);
 intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
 PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(G.context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Is it possible to achieve this using the AlarmManager?
