My app runs on a 1 hour timer. I'd like it to run even if it's not in the foreground, and even if the phone is asleep, preferably even if the app isn't even running.
I tried to accomplish this via AlarmManager and Services. The AlarmManager just seems to queue the process because nothing happens until I bring the app to the foreground, then it runs multiple times depending how long it was inactive. Services seem to require a separate application which is the service, but even if I could get that to work (which I can't) wouldn't the user have to download both my application and the service from the Android Market, thus making them install two things? How do I accomplish what I am after? Please note the application extends Activity so it can't itself be a service, as far as I know.
