There are already apps for this AFAIK. That being said, create a service that will be triggered by a GCM push to start reporting the location data. This will not show up in the Recent Tasks list, because there is no UI. It will show up in the list of running processes, though, and there is nothing you can do about that, short of modifying Android firmware. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
