You can launch a service at boot time.

You need the permission RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED and a BroadcastReceiver
that listens to  ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.

In Your AndroidManifest you need the following:
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

     <receiver android:name=".BatteryBroadcastReceiver">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
            </intent-filter>
     </receiver>

In your BroadcastReceiver you need to override:

public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent)

Inside onReceive() you can start your service.
