Yes, unless it's attached to a program that user *does* know is running. (This is the case for the code I typically write.) If the user literally doesn't know it's running, at all, then that sounds bad, if the user doesn't need to notice it's running, then maybe that's not as bad.. In any case, any attempt to keep an everlasting service in the background (without a notification in the foreground) is also bad design and will eventually be killed off by the system anyway. So, the OP should specify exactly why he needs it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
