You can't run an activity in the background. You can start the service, have it run its code and save that data. When my app first starts after boot it goes right into a service. When the service is done I create a notification icon. When the user clicks the notification it then loads the Activity. The activity then pulls in the info the service gathered from the SQLlite DB.
If you are using eclipse, turn debug on in the mainifest, then flip over to debug view in eclipse and you should be able to see the logcat.

I know there is a way to get logcat to run with phone tethering. Also sorry for the cross post it seemed at the time the topic was dead so I wanted to post it over here to get a second look.
