If your app is in background then NO UI is visible at this time. Means that there is no active activity where you could change edittext. So the answer is no.

You can use your service to store the last one. When your app comes back in the foreground you can use the stored value from the service to show in your edittext.

Yep. Even WhatsApp does it that way. You could throw a notification instead. When the user clicks on it, you app starts again and you can show the data. You could even start the activity from a service but that is seen as a bad behaviour if an app suddenly "appears" aout of the blue.

Someone could faint if you reactivate the activity from a message, while you are doing something else!
