Listening iBeacons even if the app is closed

问题:

I was wondering if it is possible to listen ibeacons even if the app that have the implementation (code to interact over BLE - ibeacons) is closed.

Is it possible? Can i write a code that 'tells' to the device to listen ibeacons all the time and if found any, need to do some action based on code from specific app? Or i need that my app still running all the time to listen the ibeacons?

Thank in advance.

Yes, the Android Beacon Library is designed to do exactly this. It automatically launches a background beacon scanner service on various system events, and can then start your app's Activities based on beacon detections.
