While everything Brian suggests will work (I built a similar tool here: https://github.com/bmeike/StrangeLoop/tree/master/SafeAsyncTask), I'd really suggest that there is a far better architecture, probably using an IntentService. Wrap your task parameters as an Intent and fire them off at the Service. The service runs the task and returns a result using a PendingIntent. There's some code here that hints at how to do it: https://github.com/bmeike/AnDevConIV/blob/master/src/net/callmeike/android/enterprise/svc
Activities are ephemeral. If you have a task that is so important that it is worth making it waste battery, even when no-one is watching (which is what a persistent AT does), it makes sense to put it somewhere less ephemeral: a Service.
