Here is what the SDK doc says about the bindService(): "Clients can also use Context.bindService() to obtain a persistent connection to a service. This likewise creates the service if it is not already running (calling onCreate() while doing so), but does not call onStartCommand()."
This means that the Service creation lifecyle events are different depending on whether or not the service is created out of startService() or bindService(). Why such difference?
