Hi all, I had a similar issue. What I wanted to do was to run a short service on boot up and initialize a few items and then stop the service. I understand that its not a good idea to leave the service running for the entire life-cycle of the phone. I was able to achieve this by creating a broadcast receiver and starting my service (and do some post delay items). I still need to figure out how to stop the service part. Please chime in if any one has any comments on this.
I also wanted to start the same service once the package was installed. I tried using the PACKAGE_ADDED, PACKAGE_CHANGED intents but I guess the newly installed package does not receive these intents. Can any one point to another strategy for starting up my service after my package installation? An alternative would be to "force phone re-boot" after the package is installed (obviously after giving the choice to the user if he wants to continue or not) but I dont know how to force that either. Any ideas how to achieve that?
