Three things you should consider: 1) Separate your application into foreground Activity (more likely multiple Activities) and a Service 2) do the download with a worker thread (e.g. AsyncTask) 3) Read up on the PowerManager (in package android.os), in particular, the WakeLock object; PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK is probably the flag you want.
