If a 3rd party background service is responsible for obtaining the information, it may generally work but cannot be counted on to be perfectly reliable, as android may stop that service if it becomes resource constrained. If the service is deployed as part of the android installation itself (or experimentally on a rooted device) then it can be made higher priority, so that its resources should not be claimed when a foreground game or whatever needs more memory -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
