I'm trying to write a program to retrieve remote battery level on a phone I SMS the message "Battery" to. I've removed all the code that checks for the string, etc. and just showing service code to intercept the SMS. This all works fine as long as the activity that loads this service is in the foreground, but if the phone is asleep or the activity is in the background, it doesn't do anything until I wake the phone and put the activity in the foreground. It seems to cache the messages. When I send more than one, it'll send back as many as I sent as soon as the phone wakes. It also will work if I hit the "connect" button on the log viewer in the IDE while the phone is asleep. I do get the icon on the taskbar so I know the service is running all the time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

'Activity Module
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
If FirstTime Then
StartService(BatteryLevel)
End If

'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
Dim n As Notification
Dim SI As SmsInterceptor
Dim PE As PhoneEvents
Dim SMS1 As PhoneSms
End Sub
Sub Service_Create
SI.Initialize2("SI", 999)
n.Initialize
n.Icon = "icon"
n.Vibrate = False
n.OnGoingEvent = True
n.SetInfo("SMS", "Stay Alive", Main)
Service.StartForeground(1, n)
End Sub
Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
End Sub
Sub Service_Destroy
End Sub
Sub SI_MessageReceived (From As String, Body As String) As Boolean
PE.Initialize("PE") 'To get Battery Stats
Return False 'To See The SMS
End Sub
Sub PE_BatteryChanged (Level As Int, Scale As Int, Plugged As Boolean, Intent As Intent)
SMS1.Send("XXXXXXXXXXX", "BatteryChanged: Level = " & Level & ", Scale = " & Scale & ", Plugged = " & Plugged)
End Sub
