You can use an IntentService. It runs on a background thread and is not affected by UI lifecycles. You can reach about how to use it here in the Android Developer Docs

You should read these documents about Services on Android.and put those codes on what you need to be run on background as a service.that's all.

A Service is an application component that can perform long-running operations in the background and does not provide a user interface. Another application component can start a service and it will continue to run in the background even if the user switches to another application. Additionally, a component can bind to a service to interact with it and even perform interprocess communication (IPC). For example, a service might handle network transactions, play music, perform file I/O, or interact with a content provider, all from the background.
