Doing a background task with AsyncTask can be done in either Activity or Service. Depends on what you're trying to do. For example, something similar to downlaoding a web page, do in Activity as user is likely to wait and nothing really lost if user swtiches to another task. Something like checking for Flickr updates (as in Romain Guy's photostream), do in Service, result in notifications.
