I'm working on an application that requires I run a long process in the foreground (mostly downloading a few large files), however, after much searching, and googling I have been unable to turn up a tutorial or example on foreground services. I've never used a foreground service so I'm a bit lost at the moment. Could anyone lend a hand on basic foreground services, maybe some sample code on starting one and ending one?
Thank you
An example is given in the developer guide over here.
