I think there is a startActivity method in the Context class and that's why I got a bit confused regarding the startActivityForResult - I think it makes a bit more sense now. I need to start an Activit for now and not a service and I think I intermixed the two. I do get the Activity to start with the context.startActivity and it does what I want it to do - but I do see now what you are saying.
