According to my "What's using the Battery" function, my radio has been on for 4 days, but if I select the Radio App itself, it is switched off on the screen. I've tried the "Force Off" function under Apps Settings, but still the Battery-use screen shows the radio as running. Is there a way to quickly check what apps are running in the background, and - preferably - easily switch them off?

I am trying to set up a script with Script Manager which will check if com.facebook.katana is running and disable it, but if it isn't running then it will enable it.
The enable and disable part is easy using pm enable/disable but how do I check what is running?

Is there any way in android to know if your application is running in background? By background, I mean none of the applications activities are currently visible to the user?

We have an application that connects to a device and therefore needs to keep running in the background even when there are no Activities active. What is the recommended way to indicate that our application is still active and for it not to be killed automatically?

I'm using application called SetCPU on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001
When I start it and press the home button to leave it running in background, it shows in Task Manager as active application, but sometimes it will shut itself down after few hours.
Is there a way to set applications to run always in background?

how to check that the service with some name is running once? also if i go out from my activity then my service is running & when i come to my activity the onCreate method is called so my service is created again in this case or running service will be attached again?
public class ServiceExampleActivity extends Activity { Intent intent; Button start,stop; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); intent = new Intent(this, ServiceExample.class); // service example is service class Log.i("-----service------", "Service Created"); }

Sorry for the newbie question, but does anyone know how I can check whether an IntentService is already running? I'm starting an IntentService from onCreate within a normal Activity, and that means that if the user minimises and maximises the application, it gets called twice. I'm wondering if I need to use something like the solution here http://bit.ly/du3VW5 or whether there's a simpler way.

My application needs to perform some activities in background (like interacting with the network and check the location and some other stuff), having or not the main activity visible. Which is the best way to achieve this? Should I write a service for each kind of job? Or just one service that performs everything? I am aware that I will need to launch threads / asynctasks in any case because the service runs on the same thread of the UI, but maybe having several services is a more clear and readable structure.

I have a service that is running within the context of my application. It gets invoked at the start of the activity and then gets update when new data is inserted or deleted from the database. The problem is that everytime I start the activity , it restarts the service. As you may have guessed - not a very intuitive design. Therefore I was wondering if there is a way to determine if the service is already running before starting it. I know I can bind to the service but I do not want that since the main activity needs to exits after the database operation is completed. I know for system services, you can get the service details from the application context. How do you do it for user defined service?

I wanna background service which is looking every minute for the location.
So I created a service and created a broadcast receiver connected to the alarm service.
That works generally fine.
Now I wanna check the Location in that Service, I have a Service which is looking first for "gps" and if not available then for "network" location. That works fine!
Now my confusing case: If I am at home and connected to the WLAN the Location is found every minute and give me an notification in android bar all is fine!
But if I am on street and go around it doesnt work. The Service is just running when I touch the screen and make it active, then the service starts and gives me the location.
Why the service just works at street when I have the screen active? And at home in my WLAN it works always even the screen is not active.

I have a project that builds against Android v2.1 . I can run it fine on a phone running 1.5 but when I try to launch it with an emulator running 1.5, the emulator doesn't show up on the list of available AVDs. I have the <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3"/> tag in my manifest but it doesn't make a difference.
