I’m trying to create a background service that every “X” minutes consult a webservice and if response “ok” generate a Notification on the notification Bar
I’m not sure if is a android service o Broadcast receiver the thing that I need
Thank anyways
Please, don’t pull a page from web-service every X minutes — this drains battery a lot, use Google Cloud Messaging (former C2DM — Cloud To Device Messaging) instead to get your information updates — it’s very lightweight and very efficient and shares one existing data connection for all applications.
