Please, I'm using Android services in my app to launch local notifications, exactly as described here, on Appcelerator Wiki. The services run well as expected but if the application is removed from the recent apps tray or device was rebooted, services stop.
I would like to the service still running after the app is removed from the recent apps tray or restart service after reboot device. How can I do it using classic Titanium.
In iOS version of my app I'm using Ti.App.iOS.scheduleLocalNotification and run very well, even after switching the device off and on. I wish that on Android worked the same way.
Thank You for any help.
(sorry for my bad english)
You can try benCoding.Android.Tools module. check the BootReceiver
you can find an example here if you are using a service for notification you need to install the module and add the receiver to your tiapp.xml as in the example

I have an application written in VB.NET that I want to move to Win10. It will always be a desktop application, however I would like it to have a start icon / tile in Win 10. Looking around I found this exact question which suggests to create a Metro App (now I believe called Windows App) which launches the desktop app. This is also discussed in this thread. So the questions;
These threads are a little old is the best way in Win10 to give a desktop app a Windows App Tile by using a Windows App as the Launcher for the desktop app?
It appears that in Win10 Microsoft has now allowed non-store apps to be installed in Update Security > SideloadApps. This needs to be enabled to install the App, but does this need to be always enabled. For example what happens after install if the user turns it off, will the app then not start?
For example I see in this link that there are 2 Registry keys to change, basically AllowAllTrustedApps and AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense. Is it possible for my desktop installer to change these keys, install the Windows App (and everything else) and then change the keys back again?
Uninstalling? If I created a Windows App which only launched my desktop app then there is a possibility that the user uninstalls or deletes the Windows App, meaning my desktop app would be orphaned and lost. Any suggestion on solving this?
According to your description, I think what you need is Desktop Bridge. There is no need to use a Windows App as the Launcher for the desktop app.
You can try with Desktop App Converter, with this you can bring your existing desktop apps written for .NET 4.6.1 or Win32 to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP).
And after converting, you can replace the Assets generated by Desktop App Converter (DAC) automatically to provide custom Tiles/Icons. For more, you can refer to Manually convert your app to UWP using the Desktop Bridge.
I'm testing the implementation of the emm, and as i understood in the documentation i can
Automatically install applications WITHOUT end user intervention
Block any application to prevent its installation
Automatically UNINSTALL any app without end user intervention
I tried to perform this tasks using Policies but it didn't seem to work.
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks.

You need to configure WSO2 EMM in order to get it working. However for Android devices silent installation and uninstallation does not work until you install the Android Agent app as a system app in your devices. So it will prompt a message to user when EMM server perform an installation or uninstallation operation on the device. But for iOS it happens without use intervention.
if you blocking an app, EMM 1.0.0 shows an warning message to the android users to remove it. and for iOS it actually block the app.
You can use policies to block apps and install apps to the devices.
For iOS you need to configure it according to the documentation in order to get it working. For Android it works without any configurations, but if you are going for production you need to configure it.
I got around this issue by rooting the Android devices we're using and installing the Xposed Framework, along with the XInstaller module for it. There are several options for installation/uninstallation that can be used to create an installation/uninstallation experience free from the need for user intervention.
This was pretty easy for me to do, as we're only using corporate-owned devices that don't even leave the facility. Your mileage may vary.
I have been tasked with writing a simple one-time-use Metro/windows store/modern UI (whatever you want to call it now) app for windows 8; it wouldn't be appropriate to try to get it into the store, because we only plan on deploying it to about 4 or 5 devices. I noticed that when I installed Chrome on the machine, it somehow managed to sneak a metro version of itself into my start menu.
I am not looking for a way to deploy a metro app to another machine, I can already do this a variety of ways (including add-appxpackage and via the remote debugger tools with visual studio 2012), I am only curious how Chrome managed to side-load a metro app, and what process they used.
Anyone have any ideas?
There was no side-loading of a Windows App when Chrome was installed. Browsers get special treatment, and the default browser (and only the default browser) can act as a Windows Store app if it implements the appropriate functionality.
There is a downloadable white paper about how this works on MSDN:

I have created a APP using GCM which works correctly on Android platform 4.1 and 4.03 (I.e. Gets a RegId and register itself in my server and can even recieve a GCM), but when I start the emulator for android 2.3 (API 10) then the app gets installed but never registered I.E never gets RegId. When I start (install) the application for the first time then it receives a GCM message which I do not understand where it comes from but I can see that the device is not registered in my server. I also used a HTC phone with 2.3.3 android software and stil same result. Can any one see what the problem might be?
On the emulator it should normally not work, because it will not have a google account tied to the device. It is requiered for a device to have a google account and Google Play installed to register for an id.
The phone on the other hand should work.
GCM will Work from Android 2.2.
Refer this tutorial it may help you,

it works fine for me.
(e.g. the Chrome browser for Android)
Talking about factory defaults here, not what users can install later.
(Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just can't find an answer anywhere)
Typically consumer facing Android devices do come with the browser. It is part of the core platform.
However, there is nothing stopping a manufacturer from removing the Browser for whatever reason. For example, that Android powered watch will not come with a web browser.
Yes, as it's part of Android OS.
