I don't know, but you can make an activity that doesn't pop a window...
I'll have to get back to you with the specifics on how to do that (I'm at
work and my source is at home), but if no one else knows of a solution you
could do the following:


   1. Use an activity that doesn't display a window (that is what I will
   need to get back to you with)
   2. Start your service from the activity and call finsih() in your
   activity's onCreate() method.

I had to do something similar at one point and it was seamless to the user.

Thanks,
Justin
