This works but, all the activity in Main module stops? I have a simple timer in main that stops processing when i switch to another app, but the 'service' in starter keeps working(updating notification)

Dont understand why just Main module stops? How do I keep it working like the starter service?
When i switch back to my app the Main resumes where it left off.

When an activity is not visible to the user it wil be stopped, that's how Android works, that why you are supposed to stored things like timers in the Starter module @scottie.

Code in an activity can only run when the activity is the visible one.
Learn about the activity lifecycle as @Peter Simpson suggested.
