When you want to do something in the background,you can use a AsyncTask. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

Here is a fine piece of document containing sample code with notifications manager on Services

Also AsyncTask is not suited for long running operations as your async service will be killed off with your app where foreground service can live past that.
