You will need to register a service for the background listening and may or
may not need to launch an activity, depending on wether you need a ui for
the SMS. See http://developer.android.com/ for details on the
aforementioned.

I'm new to Android development, so please pardon if this question
seems too fundmental. I was wondering if it was possible to create an
application that once launched is always ON even when the phone is
not being used (unless of course the user manually terminates it or
the battery runs out) and will periodically awaken to send certain
information (e.g., location) via text. This will not be spyware, and
the user will be fully aware of this feature if they launch the
application. Is this doable? Thanks.
