I have an app pretty much built I am wondering the best way to get it into the notification bar and stay there so it can run as a background process.
I have tried a few things to get the app to run in the background:
Right now as the program stands it is an auto starter linked to the main app activity file. I am in essence trying to get this to run in the background so there is no GUI but will still run when "called". I know this can be done since most of androids base OS is built like this. all I am really doing is making another component like this. I would like to have it run in the notification area but the android dev site is confusing all in all.
So, any help here would be wonderful and sorry if this feels like I'm a "Help me" Vampire as I was recently labled in another forum. I am just seeking the quickest way to get this done, plus there is no shame in asking for help.

- Making it into a service
- trying to get my head around asynctasks
