I read about services in Android very carefully, but I didn't find any valid reasons to use it. E.g.
1. By default services run in the main thread, which most of the applications don't want. 2. A service can run on a seperate thread if it spawns it own thread. But if a service runs on a seprate thread, then the method stopService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class)); does not stop the running service. Again this is a problem. If we want to do some background operations, then I think threads are better than services.
