WHY would you supply something by your timer when that's what the stack is doing for you???? As long as any timer runs (doesn't matter if in Soft Device or you app) then you cannot be in SYSTEM OFF and then letting stack doing its job looks like logical solution. Once you know that you want to stop and go to power saving mode then you simply do it (and wait for next wake-up by GPIO, NFC or Power On Reset).

Thank You...

Actually i want Advertising interval in terms of Minute but less than 10 minute.

from your suggestion i conclude that....MY application remain in to two states. either my application goes into system-off mode or my application advertise in slow advertising mode. and this advertising is done some predefined Timer interval.

Is there any example that define my application? means transmit the advertise packets based on Timer.

Your requirements are contradictory and cannot be fulfilled at the same time. Pretty much everyone must see it. If you want to be able to connect at any time then you need to advertise all the time (and frequency is given by another requirement which you don't list: what is maximum latency you allow for that connection? Note that it typically takes several adv. intervals before Master connects and this is even worse when adv. interval goes above 500ms.). And if you need to advertise all the time then you cannot be in SYSTEM OFF mode.

Actually unless you implement external RTC on some low-power chip and that will wake up nRF5x periodically from SYSTEM OFF, it boots, sends one adv. packet and if there is no connection then goes to SYSTEM OFF again. But note that boot procedure has specific power requirements so you will be still far from ideal power consumption which you dream about from SYSTEM OFF number in Product Specification...
