I\'m developing an application which will consists only of a few services and no activities (i.e. no UI)
Basically I want to have 2 to 3 services to be running in the backgr
You can't do that on newer Androids. Android specifically requires user interaction before starting up services - the user will need to physically start your application. And if your application doesn't show anything, the user is going to be very confused.
So create one Activity explaining the user what has just happened, and register your receivers there.
