I seem to be getting "This isn't possible" quite a bit. I know I'm not a genius at this stuff in fact I'm far from it but every time someone says that I have been finding usable workaround's. Please note this is not me being cocky. Just something I am noticing. On Friday, July 13, 2012 5:04:25

You can't run an activity in the background. You can start the service, have it run its code and save that data. When my app first starts after boot it goes right into a service. When the service is done I create a notification icon. When the user clicks the notification it then loads the Activity.
