thanks for the reply I don't think it is my service the one with the problem. I am using WAKE_LOCK, and also set setForground().
My service uses Text-to-speech service, and in the logcat output, I can see the text-to-speech service shutting down when the phone goes to sleep. My service then enters a state where it uses up cpu but does nothing. How can I set setForground(id, notificaiton) on the text-to-speech service so that it won't shutdown when the phone goes to sleep ? I guess I need a feature similar to the Navigation Activity where the phone speaks even if it is sleeping. Thanks for any help.
