title: Android: How to make application invisible to task managers and in the menu
body: <p>I would like to develop an application which runs as a <strong>background service</strong>. Once it gets installed, it can be controlled <strong>remotely</strong> by <strong>control messages</strong>. I don't want the application to be shown on the menu or the task list. Any help is appreciated. Any alternate ideas are appreciated as well.. Thank you.</p>
