Try this: http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-wakeful as seen here: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/SystemServices/Alarm/ > Services seem to require a separate application which is the service, That is not true at all. > 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. Activities are not applications, any more than a Web page is a Web server. But you are correct, an Activity cannot itself be a Service. You are going down the correct path -- hopefully the above code will help. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
