I saw that, and initially thought it could help me. However, the local service example and the class you specifically referred to only seem to accommodate messages from the service onServiceConnected and onServiceDisconnected. This does not really help me since my activity will be launching the service and then will need the service to notify it once the information from my server has been successfully downloaded. I don't see anything other than AIDL that will let the service inform the activity that it is ready to send an object containing information from the server. Am I reading the documentation incorrectly?
