From what I under understand, your application having a service running is basically just "holding" a (service) object that tells Android not to kill your process. The service onStart methods etc. still run in your main thread and are subject to "Application not responding".
You could have a thread directly in your activity without using a service, but Android might kill your Activity/process when you're not looking.
