Brilliant, thank you! So I'm clear, is the best sequence as follows: 1. call a (local) Service 2. from within the Service, call an ASyncTask to initiate a new thread 3. from within the new thread, call the Notifications and file uploading code
Also, I need to pass in a filename to the file uploading code - that wouldn't change anything, I assume it's possible to pass a filename to a Service class as an argument? Many thanks for your help.
