Making same android activity class as a service ondestroy

Making same android activity class as a service ondestroy

This is an application that measures the sound intensity and in accordance
with that measured value it sets the seek bar and in turn it adjusts the
ringer volume in accordance with the seek bar automatically.
I want to run this application in foreground as well as in background when
user destroys it. Because the user will definately be needing the app even
after he quits it. I have read the documentation of creating a service but
the problem is i want full code same as activity to be run in the
background after the app destroyal..So any help would be greatly
appreciated.
