Android : calling an url while app is on background

I have an app where I detect tags and my question is : I want my app to do an action when detecting new tags, in this case, opening a webpage. It works without problems but only when the app is on the foreground, but I want it to work even when the app is running in the background. I read about Android Services but I'm not sure it is what I can use. Can you give me directions to find a way to solve that problem?

Thank you very much

Please see AsyncTask from google documentation. Here is the link https://developer.android.com/training/best-background.html

This site has an example on it http://www.sitepoint.com/scheduling-background-tasks-android/
