As suggested by someone here I installed an app called Keep Screen which can have specific apps always on without screen getting locked. It was working for one app called Pomodoro , however when I selected the option for another one called Toggl it's not working.
Any ideas?

Is there any app through which I can set whether the apps should connect to the network or not?

It cant block background usage IMO

Their description says "Disable background activity for selected apps". Let him try it and see whether his app comes under that selected list

updated Google Play Music to latest version and Damn it doesn't support .m4a audio now (which it was earlier)

(In android 4.0+) Go to android settings > Data Usage > Select any app > Restrict Background Data

If might mean it blocks the activity of the apps he selects.

Guys which app is good in monitoring data usage. I currently use Onavo Count but it doesn't have features like daily usage stats and the daily limit indicator. It just lets me know when I have crossed more than 80% of the limit.

 

[abhidev]

Try zdbox

Try 3g watchdog pro. Daily/weekly/monthly display of data as well as you can restrict the connection if your cap exceeds. Also it works on 2g as well as wifi.

^^ Why you no use Android settings app ?
this all crap apps consumes a lot of battery and ram
+ another point : As the Settings have full access to kernel it can monitor much better then any other app.
