I want to fire an action after every 10 minutes of application use.

You need to use NSTimer with set the timeInterval = 10 and repeats = YES and declare this timer to your didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method. For more information you can read this official documentation of NSTimer.

And also look at How do I use NSTimer?

Try this :

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
        NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
        timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:600 target:self selector:@selector(doAction) userInfo:nil repeats:YES ];
        [pool release];
}

Hope it will help.
