Android Question Service Startforeground resources

[Nickelgrass]

Hello,
how much resources does a service use if it is startet as foreground and implements the SMS interceptor for example? Will it only take up power if a SMS is received or will it constantly drain battery and CPU power?
Thanks

Why don't you use this solution instead: Intent Filters - Intercepting SMS messages in the background

Thanks, works perfectly!
