Thank you. Indeed, this works for me.

(require 'gnus-demon)
(require 'cl-lib)
(defvar *its*)
(setq *its* 0)
(setq gnus-demon-timestep 1)
(gnus-demon-add-handler (lambda ()
                          (cl-incf *its*)
                          (message "hello: %s" *its*))
                        1 nil)

Perhaps it was the `gnus-demon-timestep' that did it.
(Note: if anyone can't get to the help of that
variable, do (require 'gnus-demon) first. FWR this
isn't necessary to get the help of
`gnus-demon-add-handler', even tho that is also
defined in gnus-demon.el).
