Not entirely necessary.
It works to use a fully-qualified class name when starting a service in
another application:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.backgroundService", "*com.backgroundService.*MyService");
startService(i);
Oddly enough, ".MyService" does not work.
Make sure that the service is exported in the manifest, either by
default, or by explicitly setting exported to true:

What information do I need to put in the intent to start a remote
service?
Step #1: Add an<intent-filter> to the service, with your own custom
action string
Step #2: Use new Intent("whatever the action string is") in your call
to startService()
