You can start a service from an activity or other application component by passing an Intent to startService() or startForegroundService() . The Android system calls the service's onStartCommand() method and passes it the Intent , which specifies which service to start.
A Background Service is a service that runs only when the app is running so it'll get terminated when the app is terminated. A Foreground Service is a service that stays alive even when the app is terminated. And a Bound Service is a service that runs only if the component it is bound to is still active.
Service runs in the main thread of its hosting process; the service does not create its own thread and does not run in a separate process unless you specify otherwise.
You want the Android Alarm Manager:
This class provides access to the system alarm services. These allow you to schedule your application to be run at some point in the future.
And here is a tutorial for your viewing pleasure.
