Answer 1

You will have to create a custom plugin in order to run processes in the background. You can find a plugin implementation here.

Answer 2

In the onCreate method of your Java class that extends from DroidGap make sure you have set "keepRunning" properly.

        super.setBooleanProperty("keepRunning", true);
