Android :: How To Automatically Start Service
Jan 14, 2010
I am having service inside a .apk file. I want to automatically start this service when this package is downloaded from the browser and installed. Is it possible to automatically start the service when the .apk file gets installed using some special intents.
I am right now using activity and broadcast recievers to start the service . But however, I would like to start the service automatically when the apk file gets installed with out writting activity or broadcast recievers.

I would like my Android application to react to an incoming email from specific address.I've heard that you can do it with incoming SMS, but emails are cheaper. Unfortunately, I am not an expert on Android's "intents",

My desire was taking approx 40mins to power down so I installed an task killer to show me what was running in the back round. I was astounded approx 25 apps were continually running in the backround so by killing these apps powering down now only take 15secs max. However, ive become a bit obsessed with this task killer. i keep checking what is running and there are things on there that i have never used such as "you tube", "news" "talk" etc. Could someone please point me in the right direction about how i stop these apps from running without me requesting them too? I know a lot of say task killers are not essential but it has certainly shown me the reason why my desire was running so slowly. Also one more thing, after powering off my phone, when restarting, ALL the apps automatically start running then? Is there a startup menu that can be editted for example?

The last week or so, I've noticed that the GPS on my phone starts trying to locate where I am without a program prompting it to do anything. I had just left the gps on, so it would be ready for maps/etc. Is there a way to tell which program is accessing it? My understanding was that you could leave the gps switched on with the droid x because it would not actually use it, unless a program called for it.

So I just hooked up a aux input on my car stereo and after a couple of days I noticed that when I unplug the headphones it automatically stops playing the music. This is awesome! I just unplug it when i get to work and i don't have to go in and push pause or stop. I love it. Question is... is there an app that will automatically start playing music from the player? So i could just plug it in and have the music start and then stop again when i unplug it. I only use the headphone jack and listen to music in the car.

I got my Xperia P more than a month ago and never had this problem. Now even if i kill all processes using the official or a third-party app, a few minutes later a number of apps are running again in the background and killing my battery.

I am developing an Android app and I am doing some heavy work (bringing data from an online web page and parsing it to store in database) in a service. Currently, it is taking about 20+ mins and for this time my UI is stuck. I was thinking of using a thread in service so my UI doesn't get stuck but it is giving error.

I have a service (input method) and from within that service I want to start and activity which was declared in the same manifest. The activity maybe running but in the background.
How do i check its presence and bring it to front, or optionally start this.
From what I can gather from other posts, this is about what I need to do:
CODE:..............
I don't knwo which of thest flags pertain to what I need to do. The docs are quite merky, and my random attempt at making this work failed.

My application has a background process which continuously waits on a socket for receiving messages and it should be started only once and at the time of application starting.Thus i want to do that background job in a service.
The service should not be started from the activity ,it should be started at the application starting.
How can i define the service,which will be started at the time of application starting?
If at all the service is started from activity.The activity can be destroyed and restarted.when this happens the service also be restarted .

We have a service. bindService() returns true. But our ServiceConnection is never called with onConnect(). The onCreate() of the service is never executed (neither is the onBind(), of course).
Except sometimes! (twice now, out of many many tries).
Remote service, local service, intent-filter, direct class invocation, "procedure" attribute, no procedure attribute, cupcake, 1.1, emulator, device ... we've tried 'em all!
We belive the service is found, and in the remote case, we see the new process always created ... but the dang service just isn't started. We aren't specifying any security settings and writing the simplest manifest entry we can....

My service is not in the same package namespace as my application / activities.
I have
CODE:...........
The issue is that my service is in -- package com.myco.service.myservice and my activity is in -- package com.myco.test.myactivity
My questions are:
1. does my service *have* to be in the com.myco.test namespace?
2. if it doesn't, how do I specify the android:name for my activity and my service to work?

I have moved some intensive processing from my main thread to a service. My UI is hanging and then crashing when I start the service, even if I put the service start in a new thread started via
Thread updateThread = new Thread(null, backgroundRefresh2, "new_thread"); updateThread.start();
What am I doing wrong? Also, it seems like the cause of the eventual crash in the service/worker thread doesn't show up in LogCat.

Is it possible to start a service directly from the launcher by clicking the application icon?
I have no activity just a single service which I want to start when I click on the icon, however when I specify my service's intent-filters it seems that it will not be recognised from the launcher, therefore no icon is visible in android's launcher.
CODE:............
How to get the icon into the launcher.
