Android 2.3X kills Apps into the Background

Question

I always used Android 2.2 for my Apps. But currently I upgraded to Android 2.3.X Gingerbread. So if I start my App and go back to the android "desktop", the app is kill by 3-4 Minutes.

I think it will be killed after some minutes inactivity, but I need to run it in background to read some mobile status.

How can I set my App as a "Background" App, so that Android will not longer kill it?

Thanks for Help...

Regards, Rookee

To run an application in the background it must be of type "Service". You have to register a service and it will run in your device forever. For more info, Android Services
