volley NoConnectionError: java.net.UnknownHostException

I am trying to wake up my device to make a network request. When I set the alarm to a minute or two. It works perfectly. But when I set it to about 10 minutes and turn off my display, the alarm is raised, but volley throws a "NoConnectionError" as shown in the title.

I researched on it, I have implemented my receiver using a WakeFullBroadCastReceiver. After this, I was getting the same problem. I researched further and added a lock to my wifi. Still, I am getting the same error.

Please any help will be appreciated.

Receiver:

 @Override
public void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) {
    Log.i("Receiver", "Called here");
    Intent serIntent1 = new Intent(context, FetchTodayWordService.class);
    startWakefulService(context, serIntent1);
}

Service

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    Log.i("SERVICE", "started");
    WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
    lock = wifiManager.createWifiLock(WifiManager.WIFI_MODE_FULL, "LockTag");
    lock.acquire();
    MakeRequest(intent);
    return START_STICKY;
}

@Override
protected void onHandleIntent (Intent intent) {
    Log.i("OUTPUT", "Service called");
    MakeRequest(intent);
}
public void MakeRequest(final Intent intent)
{
    if (intent == null) return;
    JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest =
            new JsonObjectRequest
                    (Request.Method.GET, url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                        @Override
                        public void onResponse (JSONObject response) {
                            lock.release();
                            wordDay = ParseWordDay.ParseJSON(response);
                            if(wordDay != null)
                            {
                                new StoreData().DoWork(getApplicationContext(), wordDay, intent);

                            }

                        }
                    },
                            new Response.ErrorListener() {
                                @Override
                                public void onErrorResponse (VolleyError error) {
                                    TodayWordReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);
                                    lock.release();
                                    Log.i("OUTPUT", String.valueOf(error));
                                }
                            });

    MySingleton.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).addToRequestQueue(jsonObjectRequest);
}

Setting Alarm:

 private void SetAlarm() {

    int alarmType = AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME;
    final int TIME = 1000 * 60 * 5;
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, TodayWordReceiver.class);

    /*boolean alarmUp = (PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(),
            1, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE) != null);
    if (!alarmUp)
    {*/
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 1, intent, 0);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.setRepeating(alarmType, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + TIME,
                TIME, pendingIntent);
        Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm Set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    /*}else Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "ALarm already set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();*/
}

Error Output:

04-29 23:48:23.125 15702-15702/com.example.clinton.light I/Receiver: Called here 04-29 23:48:23.145 15702-15702/com.example.clinton.light I/SERVICE: started 04-29 23:48:23.175 15702-15702/com.example.clinton.light I/OUTPUT: com.android.volley.NoConnectionError: java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "api.wordnik.com": No address associated with hostname

Any help will really be appreciated. I might not be able to mark your answer, I don't have enough points.
