You haven't specified what is your ScheduledExecutorService 
configuration/implementation.

I'm using the following in a real world project:

import java.util.concurrent.*;

     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         ScheduledExecutorService executor =
                 Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();

         executor.scheduleAtFixedRate(slowTask("Regular", 10),
                                      0, 100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

         ScheduledFuture<?> oneOff = executor
                 .schedule(slowTask("One-off with delay", 50),
                           100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
         oneOff.get();

         executor.execute(slowTask("Immediate one-off", 100));

         Future<?> oneOff2 = executor
                 .submit(slowTask("Immediate one-off with result", 100));
         oneOff2.get();

         Thread.sleep(50);

         executor.shutdown();
     }

     static Runnable slowTask(String name, long timeMillis) {
         return () -> {
             System.out.append(name).print("...");
             try {
                 Thread.sleep(timeMillis);
             } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                 Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                 throw new IllegalStateException(e);
             }
             System.out.println(" done.");
         };
     }

That is a single-thread scheduled executor [1] to serialize both:

   * A task scheduled to run at regular intervals; and
   * One-off executions.

One of my uses actually triggers one-off task at the end of the 
scheduled task, also – not just externally submitted.  Not sure what 
"onetime task in the same executor" in you case means.
