Hi everyone, I know it has been stated again and again that we should not start a service and leave it running for ever. What I was trying to do was to start a service once my package was installed, accomplish a couple of items and then stop the service (till my activity is started by the user). Is it achievable? I have added BOOT_COMPLETED in my manifest file hence when ever the device boots up I will start my service (and stop once I have completed a few items). The only scenario I am not able to cover is to start my service once the package is installed. How can I start my service in that instance? I tried catching the PACKAGE_INSTALL, PACKAGE_ADDED and PACKAGE_CHANGED but I dont think these are broadcasted to the newly installed packages. One alternative would be to "force" a reboot (programmatic) of the device (which i dont know how do either)?
