Alternatives to using a Service for BroadcastReceiver Logging
<p>Seems that a Service on Android is not the most popular method for implementing a persistent process for performing some background activity in Android.
The suggestion is to use something like the alarm manager - however I am not sure if it is applicable to my situation.
Advice welcomed.</p>

<p>What I am trying to implement is some background process that receives selected broadcasts.
This process does some processing on the broadcast, and for example logs the results to a file.
I can work out how to do this with a Service OK, but in earlier Android versions, the service seems to be killed relatively easily.</p>

<p>Are there alternatives to a service in this kind of application ??</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
