Ok, so if I let the intent Action_Power_Connected trigger my service by declaring this intent filter in the manifest and then let my service log the required data by creating a registerReceiver for the Action_Battery_Changed within the code, then I would be saved by not having the service constantly running. The 1st intent being an offline intent, would allow my app service to be triggered automatically thereby starting the service and then service would actually do its work and close itself after its work is done.. Is that ok ?
