I’ve been using Android open source service example. I just need to use it to send notification to user, but strange, it allocates lots of memory. I checked in Running Services, and it is almost 20MB (if i set ACTION_BACKGROUND) or 30MB (if i set ACTION_FOREGROUND)…
What should i do to reduce this memory usage?
I’ve already read this discussion I have no bitmap or webview.
Here’s my service:
/**
* This is an example of implementing an application service that can
* run in the "foreground". It shows how to code this to work well by using
* the improved Android 2.0 APIs when available and otherwise falling back
* to the original APIs. Yes: you can take this exact code, compile it
* against the Android 2.0 SDK, and it will against everything down to
* Android 1.0.

P.S.: I don’t know if it’s relevant or not but i’m starting this service onDestroy of my app, so it’ll send notification to user on a specific time with AlarmManager. (So it should not be killed to avoid AlarmManager deleting my notification.)
I’ve tried to simplfy my service as possible as i can, but the situation is still the same… Then i realize that somehow, usage of memory decrease by itself… So, if i have no option, i could except that.
