How to launch an Android App when it is not running <p>I am interested in figuring out how to launch an Android App when it is not running. Lets assume the app is already installed on the user's device, but the app is not running. When the user accesses a particular wifi network, I'd like the app to be launched automatically.</p> <p>How can this be accomplished? Would you recommend to use an Android Service that is running in the background to launch the app? Does the Android Service run in the background at all times? Would this put a heavy load on the phone to constantly check for the status of the Wifi connection?</p> <p>Thank you! Natalie</p>
