In reply to Pan054. To initiate communication from service you might have to use a Messenger to provide the interface for your service. To see a working example please refer to these samples MessengerService.java (service) and MessengerServiceActivities.java (client).

Thanks for your tutorial. All tutorials that I’ve read regarding bound services talk about how to call service methods from an activity, which allows communication initiated by the activity.
But can you please explain how you would initiate communication and send data from the service to the activity?
