Using the Android source code as a reference about how to write applications for the SDK isn't necessarily a good idea. Those apps were written before there was a clear definition of the SDK APIs, and sometimes before the SDK APIs even existed (in fact, some of the APIs were created in response to specific needs of specific apps).
If I'm not mistaken, getSystemService() is the preferred way and the other functions are legacy functions.
