By registering the receiver in either app context / manifest file, would I be saved from not having constantly run my service in background ? Bcos I also know that charging / discharging thru usb / power supply would occur once a day or may once in 2 days and it doesn't make sense to keep a constantly monitoring when the phone is connected for charging / disconnected from charger. If something lets my service know that charger has been connected / disconnected, within my OnReceive, I can check what intent.getAction it is and then take a correct action accordingly.
Pls suggest.
