Use RTC_WAKEUP if you want your service to perform some operation every 30 min as RTC_WAKEUP will wake the device up and deliver the pending intent. On the other hand RTC will deliver the intent only when the device wakes up.

I think everything you need to know is in the docs on AlarmManager

There can be many pitfalls trying to keep the phone awake, also see cwac-wakeful by Mark Murphy on github
