Services used in India TV Guide – Android

We can probably see 2 or probably 3 services running in the background in India TV Guide application.

HttpService starts whenever data is being fetched from the server. This service runs until the data is downloaded and stops running once the data is fetched.

WidgetProvider$Update service keeps on running in the background if India TV Guide widget is open as it has to update the program details. If you don't want this service to run, remove the widget from home screen.

PushService is always running to handle push notifications, the notifications that are received by your device, in case any information related to the application is sent. It uses relatively small amount of memory and consumes less battery.
