If you're after geo-fencing, see here: http://developer.android.com/training/location/geofencing.html If you want to do stuff in response to location changes while your app is not active, use this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#requestLocationUpdates%28long,%20float,%20android.location.Criteria,%20android.app.PendingIntent%29 On Mon, Nov 24, 2014 at 2:29 PM, Tony Pitman <t...@shatalmic.com> wrote: > They pass in a parameter to that HandlerThread called > Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND. > Is this different than using the startForeground that now fixed my issue? > Yes, the thread priority is for the system to manage and schedule threads. This relates to* time and frequency allocation* for threads to run. startForeground is specifically to mark a Service object as being important to a user's experience, such that the system will favor it when memory gets tight. The system will kill other components (background services, Activities no longer visible, etc) before killing a foreground service. This relates to *memory allocation* for system resources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
