Question

I am developing an application in which a background service is created to collect sensor data. I am starting the service from my activity:

startService(new          


        

Answer 1

I know its much late to answer this question, but may be it can be helpful to others. This really helped me for my Music Player App.

If there are services which can be disruptive or can affect the user experience like music etc , then in that case you have to use Notification and when service is started successfully, then create the Notification and use the function

startForeground(int Notification_id,Notification);

This will run your service in background without restarting and reinvoking its methods
