Hello ritusingh,

Yeah you can run the app in background in S60 devices but not in S40 devices.
you can use

Display.getDisplay(midlet).setCurrent(null);

And again to set the app in foreground

Display.getDisplay (this).setCurrent (myCanvas);

And to set the app in foreground can be done on events like the specific time period or on incoming SMS intervention. For that you can read the push registry.

Hello,
You have to make the midlet suite for the same purpose. And then you can do midlet to midlet invocation. This topic has already been discussed lots of times and for more details you can refer the links,
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...t=start+midlet
and here

I am more then sure that these links will help you,

You will not be able to receive key events while the application is in the background. Only a foreground application can interact with the user.

You cannot launch one MIDlet from another.

i want to know that is it possible to call one midlet from another midlet.
if yes what is the procedure of it and other midlet is called at particular
event and the previous midlet should run in background of the application.
