I am developing an application in which I start a service which will run in the background,
Now I want to make this service invisible to the customers so that they can not stop it.
Is that possible?
Any help regarding this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks
You should not and cannot do such a thing. This will violate the basic privileges of the user over his phone and is a potential (big) security hole.
Don't run it. Then it won't show up and the users won't be able to stop it.

I want to code an app that hinders other app from launching. Can someone please help to start from the beginning. Can someone provide an example and i'll try my best to understand it. Thanks (Full code if possible :D)
One example is AppBlock in the play store.
To create a feature that 'blocks' other apps from running like AppBlock, you simply just need to show a popup on top of the other apps.
Look into SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, with this, you can draw on top of any other app.
Once you have that working, you should look into the other permissions of AppBlock,as it'll show you what they're doing.
AppBlock's Permissions
bind to an accessibility service
update component usage statistics
receive data from Internet
view network connections
full network access
run at startup
reorder running apps
control vibration
prevent device from sleeping
I learned that following is Overview screen.
I clicked the dialer and dialed a number and then swiped the dialer to the right.
But still the call is on like this.
How is this done?
I am a newbie to Android programming. I am thinking if they had used a back ground thread or a separate service or something else, so that it is never killed accidentally. How is this done?
Please help me. Thanks.
I believe it is using the Android foreground service. You can checkout how to run it in the doc:
https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html#Foreground
The difference of foreground from background service is when phone is low on memory, system will not automatically close it to release memory, it should be closed manually by user, which is why you need to have a notification as a way for user to close it when you first create it.
I am new to Android and have a problem with the Notifications. I know that this topic has been taken up earlier as well but I just wanted to know if there is any other way to go about it.
Problem : In my application I want that the user is notified that he/she has entered in the radius of a particular location. I have the functionality working when the application is alive and in the foreground. I will however want that the user is also notified when the application is not working and not there in the foreground.
In the previous posts I have found out that this can be done by using something called as the C2DM. Altough I am not much aware of it but by using C2DM I would be introducing an extra network trip. My question is that the only way to go about it? Can't this functionality be done any other way round, something locally like something of a daemon thread of sorts?
Also if C2DM is only the way, and as my application is not in my foreground will the C2DM also inform once the user reaches the radius of a particular location?
Will like to thank you all in advance. Please do let me know if any one of you have faced a situation/problem/requirement similar to this before and also if you can highlight the way forward for this?

Use addProximityAlert() on LocationManager, and then it will not matter whether your app is in the foreground or not.
After many sites searched and googling,
I can't find anything for my problem.
I want to capture the sequence of user interactions on android device. Starting from when the device is powered ON. And one more thing is that I'm not talking about the user event on UI of any application. It's for whole device UI interactions. And if any tools are available then please let me know about it. I didn't get anything about this. Any help or suggestion is well appreciate.
This is not possible, except perhaps via modified firmware, for obvious security and privacy reasons.
I am not sure at what extent it will help you to achive your goal but the best way I know is that:
You need to implement Broadcastreceiver for every action like action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" when your device starts, similarly you need to use all the action which will notify you in your receiver.
You can run a service where you can check which app is running for your record. For this you need to fetch installed app list.
I Develop a one application which contaion the scenario given below in that
Some time of application goes into the background and after the some period of time that application comes in front of side this just createing the demo application.
In this application i can't use any GPS System also.
please help to solve this problem and which kinds of permision to give
the application and how to face this problem.
Thanx in advance

As far as I can understand, you want to hide your application in background. So, there is a method for that
moveTaskToBack(boolean nonRoot)
this will do the trick for you, when you pass boolean true to its arguments.
