I have a background task I would like to handle. The thing is that when the task completes, I would like to call a new Activity to show the result to the user, only if my main Activity is showing, otherwise I would like to send just a notification so the user can see that the action completed, and be able to open it whenever he likes. I was thinking of using a service to handle the start and termination of the background task and broadcast a message when it finishes, but in this case I have no option to know whether the Activity was shown or the broadcast was not processed and I should send a

I am developing an Android app that does Human Activity Recognition. It basically works like that - Service constantly reads the accelerator data and stores the recognized activity (i.e. Walking, running) in a database. The user can see all of the recognized activities in an ListView in activity (accesses the database). Every User table in the database has a pa_goal (physical activity goal) field which the Service reads from the database and does some checks. The user, of course, can change this goal from an activity. Since I will be implementing the MVP architectural pattern. I am unsure

I need to implement BroadcastReceiver in a Service class I have created: public class MyService extends Service in this class I have to implement a Simulation of Download by using Thread - Sleep when the user presses the button in the MyActivity Class which implements sendBroadcas().

Looks like force stop should prevent app from running and it's even disable all app's alarms. However I found that notification in Google Calendar still shown fine even after force stop, and I all the time see Instagram app running, even when I kill it, it's just restart automatically and it's once again there. So, what is a way to make app running constantly? I'm doing app with reminders and need to show notifications in specific time, regardless how app was previously closed before. If you start a service in Application Class than your service will be always running even though if a user
