The user will not like it that way. If I close your Activity, I have an
expectation that you will stop what you're doing. If you have a good reason
for continuing a background task, it should be in a Service with an ongoing
notification. This would also solve your problem as then you could bind to
it as necessary to communicate back with your Activity.
