Are you just looking to create a Notification in the notification area? (that thing that goes up and down)
Or do you want your app to run in the background ALL the time?

Look here for notifications: Notification - Basic4android Wiki

To run your app in the background you need to use services. (Probably foreground services).

When starting the service
what to do with the running layout?
meaning finish.activity, send to back?
I need to not show the GUI anymore, but the service still need to run

Yes. You should also call Service.StartForeground to avoid Android from killing your process.
