A oneway interface currently only applies when an IPC is needed to go through the interface -- that is when the callee and caller are running in different processes -- and is handled by Binder, the low-level IPC transport.
When two interfaces are in the same process, calls on them are just direct function calls into the other object, so there is no way to introduce asynchronicity. I'd like to do the user-space work to allow for async local interfaces, but don't know when that may happen. In the meantime, what we generally do is use a Handler on the receiving side to schedule the work in another thread so that all calls into the object are async.
