The correct way to do this is via a Service — sorry.

DropBox uses code injection, which is evil and is the reason why I don’t have 
it on my machine. If you want to go that route, be aware that 1) many people 
dislike it, 2) it has a tendency to introduce instability, crashes, and weird 
behavior, and 3) it tends to get royally screwed up once the application you’re 
hacking gets updated.

I’d suggest you just use a Service.
