You can you Service. Its for the same purpose.

Save the files if the phone is switched down

You can receive an intent ACTION_SHUTDOWN in the broadcast receiver, when phone is about to switch off. Then you can do whatever you want to do there. See Is there any way to receive a notification when the user powers off the device? for details.

Hope this helps.

  • Ok and with Service if the player press the back button the app will be close and not runned in background right ? – Stefan Aug 19 '13 at 23:13
  • If you read the link hat I gave ( Service) it mentions `facility for the application to tell the system about something it wants to be doing in the background (even when the user is not directly interacting with the application).`. So Service runs in the background as well. – Shobhit Puri Aug 19 '13 at 23:15

I suggest that you investigate Services.

A service can run in the background continuously.
