Why can't you use

Intent intent = new Intent(MyActivity.this, Myservice.class);
startService(intent);

If you do that in the onCreate method of your Activity then it will start the service as soon as your Activity is ran. From there, it should be running in the background. What is the issue your having?

another thing at each oncreate the service will lunch again ? – Hanaa Jun 19 '12 at 20:29
Yes. Your service should be running if the phone's screen is off. And No, you can call startService(intent) as many times as you want and it will only create one instance of your service. – Frank Sposaro Jun 19 '12 at 20:31
even this service contact with database on server ? – Hanaa Jun 19 '12 at 20:35
Yo man. Your service should be running in the background. No matter if it's accessing a database or consuming green eggs and ham – Frank Sposaro Jun 19 '12 at 20:36
