Here's my 2 cents on Services: I personally do not execute anything inside a service. A Service runs in the main Thread of the hosting process, so any real "work" would interfere with the user experience. I use Service however to provide isolation from the main Activity, and start Threads that cover all the background work in the overridden onStart() method. From that point on you can manage Threads like you normally would. Note that these Threads live irrespective of the application life cycle. This is cool, because it can cut down on app startup time once established. Adds complexity though!
