hi, Im working on API 7 and I need to launch service without showing any activity, my service will add status bar notification so user can interact with application later.
I cant find any other solution then launching activity that will finish immediately after starting service but this shows a blank, white screen for a second so this is rather poor workaround. I tried using broadcast receiver but this cannot be launched by <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/> </intent-filter> I got error ERROR/Launcher(105): Launcher does not have the permission to launch Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=myapp.launcher/.SettingsActivity bnds=[83,238][157,317] }. Make sure to create a MAIN intent-filter for the corresponding activity or use the exported attribute for this activity. I know there are apps out there which are doing that (or at least looks like that) so there must be a way, thanks for help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
