Smartphones are growing rapidly in terms of device functionality and providing increased amounts of knowledge with more advanced computing capabilities and connectivity than ordinary mobile phones. Incorporation of lot of features has prompted the increased usage of smartphones. Application development is one of those features where users can download wide range of applications to perform different tasks. The open nature of markets are resulting in several privacy and security concerns as malware developers are attempting to restructure the permissions of applications and upload those compromised applications in various sites. These malwares are trying to invade the personal information of the user, read communications without permissions and exploiting data with malicious intent. Moreover, many kinds of Android applications require too many permissions than which they need to provide user’s services. Testing and in-depth analysis is required on the features of the application permissions. In this paper, a background application service is proposed that can detect whether an application is a malware or not by performing analysis of application permissions on installation, identifying malicious characteristics and alerting the user.
