In Android mobile application development we have Services interface for perform long-running operations in the background and does not provide a user interface. What is the similar substitute for BlackBerry 10 Cascades development for long-running operations in the background?

Any updates on this? Is it possible to port Android application having one Service to BlackBerry 10.2? – Alexandre Lavoie Aug 17 '13 at 18:47

Yes, this needs "BB10 Headless App" feature. It is introduced in the 10.2 SDK, which has been released as gold 14.08.2013. You'll need a 10.2 OS too (which has not been deployed yet, [except test](https://developer.blackberry.com/blackberry10devalpha/devalpha_update.html), stripped down versions) to use them. – AnujAroshA Aug 19 '13 at 06:20

And once you have converted the Android app to BlackBerry app (apk2bar) you add _sys_headless_nostop in the manifest? – Alexandre Lavoie Aug 19 '13 at 09:51

Currently, BB10 does not allow backgrounded services, although this is supposed to be supported in 10.2.
