I know this question is old. But just to help anyone seeing this post aand getting disheartened, I've found an answer on a comparable question on stackoverflow link, it might help now. There is also a new feature named DayDream in the API 4.2 this could be also interesting. It's a feature.

Hope it helps someone. Cheers :)
