start activity but in background

My application will launch a new activity (say calculator) using intents.

My requirement is: Is there any way to start the new activity in background (not in foreground)?

Can you suggest any solution?

thank you

Use BroadcastReceiver to receive the Intent and start Service or Thread do what you want to do.

What do you want to do exactly? Depending on that, you have several options:

  • You can use an AsyncTask
  • You can use a local Service
  • You can use a remote Service
  • You can use a Thread

Short version : Use threads.

Not-so-long version : read about threads.
