Android Question Sleep in a service

[ranba790]

I need to run logic reading values from a Bluetooth IOIO board every 200 msec.
In the past, I have used successfully in the sub Service_Start

StartServiceAt ( "" ,DateTime.Now+200,True)

with the newer android version, I am getting a reading every couple of seconds instead of msec
Is there an issue replacing the StartServiceAt with sleep(200) in the Service_Start sub and never exit the sub till the program is terminated?
for example

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Do While ShutDown=False
        Connection_Maneger
        Process_Reading
        Sleep(200)
     Loop
     CancelScheduledService("")
     StopService("")
     Notification1.Cancel(1)
     ExitApplication   
End Sub

thanks

No.
And it will behave exactly like a timer.
