Sounds like what you want is a Service: "A service doesn't have a visual user interface, but rather runs in the background for an indefinite period of time. For example, a service might play background music as the user attends to other matters, or it might fetch data over the network or calculate something and provide the result to activities that need it. Each service extends the Service base class." (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html)
