positive you have an Activity then you should print out the Intent in the

When are you calling the code to recycle? If I had to guess it looks like

It is not required that an onPause is always followed by onStop - in fact if

Not sure I am experienced but I did use both AsncTask and Service, so here
is my opinion.
AyncTask works great - until the user does something to visually alter your
app, e.g. changes orientation or goes to the home screen. Reason is that the
AsyncTask will most likely be referring to UI elements

You could write a content provider app that installs independent of either
