The issue is that the accelerometer sensor is turning off. So the listener will not detect any changes while it is off. Your CPU isnt sleeping while the screen is off, maybe slowing down to save power, but it will not completely shut off. So a service running should still be running. The best work around is on a kernel level, not really an app level.
