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.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara- set reminder on India TV Guide

On 15th October, World TV Premiere – Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara will air at 21.00 IST Only on STAR PLUS3 young men take a holiday that changes their lives forever.

Kabir (Abhay Deol) has just met Natasha. 6 months later they are engaged.

He wants to go on an extended bachelor party. A 3 week road trip with Imraan (Farhan Akhtar) and Arjun (Hrithik Roshan)- his 2 best friends since school. The only problem is Arjun is too tied up with work. After much emotional blackmail and cajoling the boys set off on a journey they were meant to take 4 years ago.

A fantasy holiday they had planned to take after college but never happened. A road trip where each one gets to do the ultimate sport of his choice and the other 2 just have to do it with him. Whether they want to or not!

Kabir Imraan and Arjun meet up in Barcelona and set off on an adventure that will not only make them iron out their differences but also face their fears, alter their perception, unravel their fabric, force them to break out of the box and teach them to seize the day.

In other words a holiday that will change their lives forever.
