[android-developers] Re: starting service from launch icon
I cant find any other solution then launching activity that will finish immediately after starting service but this shows a blank, white screen for a second so this is rather poor workaround. this is what I thought but it is showing white screen for a moment so I dont know how to remove that On 24 Lip, 20:57, rich friedel rich.frie...@gmail.com wrote: Off the top of my head, you could launch an invisible Activity then in onCreate() start the Service then call finish() on the Activity -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: starting service from launch icon
AFAIK, if finish() is called from onCreate(), the view is never shown. I've read this somewhere in the docs and I use this technique to set a user configurable place to start my app. It calls an activity and if it's not the starting screen, it navigates away from it and finish()-es it right away. The screen is never shown and I do NOT have NoDisplay set.
