Hidden Service in Android?
<p>i used the following source in creating a service 
<a href="http://marakana.com/forums/android/examples/60.html" rel="nofollow">http://marakana.com/forums/android/examples/60.html</a></p>

<p>but the thing is, the mp3 file is running, but as soon as i terminate the application (The gui with the start and stop buttons) the service terminates too !</p>

<p>i dunno if i understood this correctly, but on android developers site it says the following</p>

<pre><code>When a service is started, it has a lifecycle that's independent of the component that started it and the service can run in the background indefinitely, even if the component that started it is destroyed.
</code></pre>

<p>shouldn't the sound still be playing even after the application is terminated using any task manager?</p>

<p>sorry, im new to java and android at the same time.
thanks.</p>
