That is an activity that assumes it will never be seen by the user, but it is still at the top of the stack and if you don't immediately finish it you will give the user your app in a broken state. To the original poster -- of course you can use a Service without an Activity. There is nothing about a Service that ties it to an Activity, anywhere in the API. 1. Implement a Service. 2. Declare it in your manifest. 3. call startService() at the point you want it to start. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
