Hey Abhi,

If what I've understood about dealing with the sensors right now, you
don't need to start a background service.  You can simply access the
accelerometer values through the following:
SensorManager myManager;
List <Sensor> sensors[ ];
myManager = (SensorManager)getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
sensors = myManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
Then within your program you can go off of the trigger for a user's
tap on the screen (I don't know this off-hand).  When the user clicks
again, another trigger should fire.  The code that you might want
accomplished could be handled within these triggers without having to
affect your current code in the Activity.  This will handle things
for
you during your activity.  Of course if you are specifically trying
to
get some background experience and feedback, at least I can get a
small discussion started possibly for you.
