title: How to record video from background of application : Android
body: <p>I am developing an application which will be able to record video from background of application by using <code>Service</code>.</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Problem description :</em></strong> </p>
  
  <p>In my application recording will be scheduled. If user want to record video from 1 PM to 3 PM, he will schedule the task and can exit from application. Application will automatically start recording at 1PM to 3PM. </p>
  
  <p><em><strong>What I did yet :</em></strong> </p>
  
  <p>I googled about my query but didn't get solution. Many articles say that it is not possible. But in <a href="https://play.google.com/">Google Play</a> there are some applications (for eg <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dadny.recorder.lite.google">MyCar Recorder</a>) which can record video from background of application. </p>
  
  <p><em>I got an <a href="http://pickerwengs.blogspot.in/2011/05/android-background-video-recorder-on.html">article</a> about same but its not working.</em> </p>
  
  <p><em><strong>What is the way to implement this functionality?</em></strong> </p>
