Q:

Android App Timed Pop Up from Background Service

How can an Android App be set on a timer to popup from the background? 
Basically, a countdown is setup within the application, user then clicks HOME button, and then when the timer goes off, it returns the user back to the program. 
I found a function moveToBack() but moveToFront or Foreground doesn't work. 
This should be exactly like an alarm clock program, but I can't seem to find how to do it. 
Thanks

AlarmManager is your friend.  You can set it up to start an intent after a certain amount of time.
