I am trying to figure out how to allow a user to run my application more than one time. It is a script that runs in the background and I would like the user to be able to run it as many times as they want i.e. multiple instances. Which launch mode would best accomplish this?

Unfortunately Android Services are singletons, so you cannot have more than one. Applications are also singletons, and there is quite a discussion on this topic here.

The best way to implement what you are looking for would be to run your script/background process in a thread, and allow your Service or Application to spawn an indefinite number of these threads.
