33 /**
34  * A Service is an application component representing either an application's desire
35  * to perform a longer-running operation while not interacting with the user
36  * or to supply functionality for other applications to use.  Each service
37  * class must have a corresponding
38  * {@link android.R.styleable#AndroidManifestService <service>}
39  * declaration in its package's <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code>.  Services
40  * can be started with
41  * {@link android.content.Context#startService Context.startService()} and
42  * {@link android.content.Context#bindService Context.bindService()}.
43  *
44  * <p>Note that services, like other application objects, run in the main
45  * thread of their hosting process.  This means that, if your service is going
46  * to do any CPU intensive (such as MP3 playback) or blocking (such as
47  * networking) operations, it should spawn its own thread in which to do that
48  * work.  More information on this can be found in
49  * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/fundamentals/processes-and-threads.html">Processes and
50  * Threads</a>.  The {@link IntentService} class is available
51  * as a standard implementation of Service that has its own thread where it
52  * schedules its work to be done.</p>

71  * <h3>What is a Service?</h3>
72  *
73  * <p>Most confusion about the Service class actually revolves around what
74  * it is <em>not</em>:</p>
75  *
76  * <ul>
77  * <li> A Service is <b>not</b> a separate process.  The Service object itself
78  * does not imply it is running in its own process; unless otherwise specified,
79  * it runs in the same process as the application it is part of.
80  * <li> A Service is <b>not</b> a thread.  It is not a means itself to do work off
81  * of the main thread (to avoid Application Not Responding errors).
82  * </ul>
83  *
84  * <p>Thus a Service itself is actually very simple, providing two main features:</p>
85  *
86  * <ul>
87  * <li>A facility for the application to tell the system <em>about</em>
88  * something it wants to be doing in the background (even when the user is not
89  * directly interacting with the application).  This corresponds to calls to
90  * {@link android.content.Context#startService Context.startService()}, which
91  * ask the system to schedule work for the service, to be run until the service
92  * or someone else explicitly stop it.
93  * <li>A facility for an application to expose some of its functionality to
94  * other applications.  This corresponds to calls to
95  * {@link android.content.Context#bindService Context.bindService()}, which
96  * allows a long-standing connection to be made to the service in order to
97  * interact with it.
98  * </ul>
99  *
100  * <p>When a Service component is actually created, for either of these reasons,
101  * all that the system actually does is instantiate the component
102  * and call its {@link #onCreate} and any other appropriate callbacks on the
103  * main thread.  It is up to the Service to implement these with the appropriate
104  * behavior, such as creating a secondary thread in which it does its work.</p>
105  *
106  * <p>Note that because Service itself is so simple, you can make your
107  * interaction with it as simple or complicated as you want: from treating it
108  * as a local Java object that you make direct method calls on (as illustrated
109  * by <a href="#LocalServiceSample">Local Service Sample</a>), to providing
110  * a full remoteable interface using AIDL.</p>
111  *
112  * <a name="ServiceLifecycle"></a>
113  * <h3>Service Lifecycle</h3>
114  *
115  * <p>There are two reasons that a service can be run by the system.  If someone
116  * calls {@link android.content.Context#startService Context.startService()} then the system will
117  * retrieve the service (creating it and calling its {@link #onCreate} method
118  * if needed) and then call its {@link #onStartCommand} method with the
119  * arguments supplied by the client.  The service will at this point continue
120  * running until {@link android.content.Context#stopService Context.stopService()} or
121  * {@link #stopSelf()} is called.  Note that multiple calls to
122  * Context.startService() do not nest (though they do result in multiple corresponding
123  * calls to onStartCommand()), so no matter how many times it is started a service
124  * will be stopped once Context.stopService() or stopSelf() is called; however,
125  * services can use their {@link #stopSelf(int)} method to ensure the service is
126  * not stopped until started intents have been processed.
127  *
128  * <p>For started services, there are two additional major modes of operation
129  * they can decide to run in, depending on the value they return from
130  * onStartCommand(): {@link #START_STICKY} is used for services that are
131  * explicitly started and stopped as needed, while {@link #START_NOT_STICKY}
132  * or {@link #START_REDELIVER_INTENT} are used for services that should only
133  * remain running while processing any commands sent to them.  See the linked
134  * documentation for more detail on the semantics.
135  *
136  * <p>Clients can also use {@link android.content.Context#bindService Context.bindService()} to
137  * obtain a persistent connection to a service.  This likewise creates the
138  * service if it is not already running (calling {@link #onCreate} while
139  * doing so), but does not call onStartCommand().  The client will receive the
140  * {@link android.os.IBinder} object that the service returns from its
141  * {@link #onBind} method, allowing the client to then make calls back
142  * to the service.  The service will remain running as long as the connection
143  * is established (whether or not the client retains a reference on the
144  * service's IBinder).  Usually the IBinder returned is for a complex
145  * interface that has been <a href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/tools/aidl.html">written
146  * in aidl</a>.
147  *
148  * <p>A service can be both started and have connections bound to it.  In such
149  * a case, the system will keep the service running as long as either it is
150  * started <em>or</em> there are one or more connections to it with the
151  * {@link android.content.Context#BIND_AUTO_CREATE Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE}
152  * flag.  Once neither
153  * of these situations hold, the service's {@link #onDestroy} method is called
154  * and the service is effectively terminated.  All cleanup (stopping threads,
155  * unregistering receivers) should be complete upon returning from onDestroy().
156  *
157  * <a name="Permissions"></a>
158  * <h3>Permissions</h3>
159  *
160  * <p>Global access to a service can be enforced when it is declared in its
161  * manifest's {@link android.R.styleable#AndroidManifestService &lt;service&gt;}
162  * tag.  By doing so, other applications will need to declare a corresponding
163  * {@link android.R.styleable#AndroidManifestUsesPermission &lt;uses-permission&gt;}
164  * element in their own manifest to be able to start, stop, or bind to
165  * the service.
166  *
167  * <p>In addition, a service can protect individual IPC calls into it with
168  * permissions, by calling the
169  * {@link #checkCallingPermission}
170  * method before executing the implementation of that call.
171  *
172  * <p>See the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/security/security.html">Security and Permissions</a>
173  * document for more information on permissions and security in general.
174  *
175  * <a name="ProcessLifecycle"></a>
176  * <h3>Process Lifecycle</h3>
177  *
178  * <p>The Android system will attempt to keep the process hosting a service
179  * around as long as the service has been started or has clients bound to it.
180  * When running low on memory and needing to kill existing processes, the
181  * priority of a process hosting the service will be the higher of the
182  * following possibilities:
183  *
184  * <ul>
185  * <li><p>If the service is currently executing code in its
186  * {@link #onCreate onCreate()}, {@link #onStartCommand onStartCommand()},
187  * or {@link #onDestroy onDestroy()} methods, then the hosting process will
188  * be a foreground process to ensure this code can execute without
189  * being killed.
190  * <li><p>If the service has been started, then its hosting process is considered
191  * to be less important than any processes that are currently visible to the
192  * user on-screen, but more important than any process not visible.  Because
193  * only a few processes are generally visible to the user, this means that
194  * the service should not be killed except in extreme low memory conditions.
195  * <li><p>If there are clients bound to the service, then the service's hosting
196  * process is never less important than the most important client.  That is,
197  * if one of its clients is visible to the user, then the service itself is
198  * considered to be visible.
199  * <li><p>A started service can use the {@link #startForeground(int, Notification)}
200  * API to put the service in a foreground state, where the system considers
201  * it to be something the user is actively aware of and thus not a candidate
202  * for killing when low on memory.  (It is still theoretically possible for
203  * the service to be killed under extreme memory pressure from the current
204  * foreground application, but in practice this should not be a concern.)
205  * </ul>
206  *
207  * <p>Note this means that most of the time your service is running, it may
208  * be killed by the system if it is under heavy memory pressure.  If this
209  * happens, the system will later try to restart the service.  An important
210  * consequence of this is that if you implement {@link #onStartCommand onStartCommand()}
211  * to schedule work to be done asynchronously or in another thread, then you
212  * may want to use {@link #START_FLAG_REDELIVERY} to have the system
213  * re-deliver an Intent for you so that it does not get lost if your service
214  * is killed while processing it.
215  *
216  * <p>Other application components running in the same process as the service
217  * (such as an {@link android.app.Activity}) can, of course, increase the
218  * importance of the overall
219  * process beyond just the importance of the service itself.
220  *
221  * <a name="LocalServiceSample"></a>
222  * <h3>Local Service Sample</h3>
223  *
224  * <p>One of the most common uses of a Service is as a secondary component
225  * running alongside other parts of an application, in the same process as
226  * the rest of the components.  All components of an .apk run in the same
227  * process unless explicitly stated otherwise, so this is a typical situation.
228  *
229  * <p>When used in this way, by assuming the
230  * components are in the same process, you can greatly simplify the interaction
231  * between them: clients of the service can simply cast the IBinder they
232  * receive from it to a concrete class published by the service.
233  *
234  * <p>An example of this use of a Service is shown here.  First is the Service
235  * itself, publishing a custom class when bound:
236  *
237  * {@sample development/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/LocalService.java
238  *      service}
239  *
240  * <p>With that done, one can now write client code that directly accesses the
241  * running service, such as:
242  *
243  * {@sample development/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/LocalServiceActivities.java
244  *      bind}
245  *
246  * <a name="RemoteMessengerServiceSample"></a>
247  * <h3>Remote Messenger Service Sample</h3>
248  *
249  * <p>If you need to be able to write a Service that can perform complicated
250  * communication with clients in remote processes (beyond simply the use of
251  * {@link Context#startService(Intent) Context.startService} to send
252  * commands to it), then you can use the {@link android.os.Messenger} class
253  * instead of writing full AIDL files.
254  *
255  * <p>An example of a Service that uses Messenger as its client interface
256  * is shown here.  First is the Service itself, publishing a Messenger to
257  * an internal Handler when bound:
258  *
259  * {@sample development/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/MessengerService.java
260  *      service}
261  *
262  * <p>If we want to make this service run in a remote process (instead of the
263  * standard one for its .apk), we can use <code>android:process</code> in its
264  * manifest tag to specify one:
265  *
266  * {@sample development/samples/ApiDemos/AndroidManifest.xml remote_service_declaration}
267  *
268  * <p>Note that the name "remote" chosen here is arbitrary, and you can use
269  * other names if you want additional processes.  The ':' prefix appends the
270  * name to your package's standard process name.
271  *
272  * <p>With that done, clients can now bind to the service and send messages
273  * to it.  Note that this allows clients to register with it to receive
274  * messages back as well:
275  *
276  * {@sample development/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/MessengerServiceActivities.java
277  *      bind}
