[android-developers] Re: Network I/O in background thread

Thanks a lot for detailed answer!

When alarm manager deliver intent to my app, at this time, phone gets
wake up and i am thinking to make service call startforeground() and
start processing in another thread.

Will this behaviour causes phone light on?

I am just looking to do some background processing(some network I/O)
and only in some scenario i may post notification which user may
choose to see by clicking that notification.But it is not really
required to make phone light On.
