Thanks for reply.
Is it necessary to ride on AlarmManager or similar other service.
To get reliable scheduled notifications, yes.
Is
there any drawback in using background thread spawned from my process
itself.
If you just spawn a thread without a service, then you're not telling
Android that what you're doing is important, and it may decide to get
rid of your application's process. This will terminate the thread as
well, aborting any network IO you may have at that time.
And my process own at least one service so i can assume life
of my process will be towards higher side.
Just having a service doesn't help with extending a process' lifetime.
Android considers your service more important than others in two cases
(that I know of):
- Your service was bound by a foreground application;
- The service called startForeground.

Yes, use AlarmManager, possibly with an IntentService or

Hi,
Is it possible to trigger periodic network I/O from a pocess, who is
currently in background. And in my case it is possible that none of
activiy is in foreground at the time when network i/o is requested.
This I/O is client driven.
Thanks in advance
