Thanks. Here is my hack for it. It works fine.

;; in the emacs init file

;; refresh agenda view regurally
(defun kiwon/org-agenda-redo-in-other-window ()
  "Call org-agenda-redo function even in the non-agenda buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((agenda-window (get-buffer-window org-agenda-buffer-name t)))
    (when agenda-window
      (with-selected-window agenda-window (org-agenda-redo)))))
(run-at-time nil 300 'kiwon/org-agenda-redo-in-other-window)
