    If you want to perform a background task that should run to completion irrespective of which activity is brought to front, you can set up a service to achieve this. The Android system assigns a dedicated thread pool to your service which allows tasks executed via the service run independent of the foreground activity of your app.

    The Android developer documentation provides a detailed description and overview of this concept.

    I had a similar requirement with my app .. Using services did the trick for me 🙂
