Android Question A service that will be running forever

[Mark Ryan Penafiel]

i need a service that will be running as long as the device is turned on. it has a function of sending sms at regular interval and getting data for notification. i dont want the os to kill it. i tried sticky service, and start at boot but sometimes it stop
is starter service the answer?

i want the app to get regular data on the background, like fb notifcation if there is relevant update.
i plan to use jRDC2 and service to accomplish this. i am on the right track?

Thanks

Not really.

You should use StartServiceAt instead or push notifications to wake up your app.
