Probably, the easiest way is to use a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor (attention, the following code will never exit):

    Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1).scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            // your request code here

        }
    }, 0, 5, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
