Use Android Services.You can use the following methods:-

  1. To call a Service which doesnt return any value back use - startService()
  2. To call a Service which return back values use - bindService()

Its good to be cautious when using any Sensors to run in the background as it might eat up you battery fast

Services or AlarmManager is what you are looking for I think, depends on what you want to do..

You can use the Service API for this, specifically the startForeground(int, Notification) function call. There is an example provided in the API documentation that I have linked to.
