At that point, if a new sample was added, and the activity that lists the

new sample. If the activity isn't running, I don't care because it will be
fine when it launches. If I set up a receiver and send a broadcast won't the
broadcast cause it to launch if the activity isn't running? That is behavior
that I don't want.
Use an ordered broadcast to notify your foreground activity, and
possibly display a Notification if the activity is not in the
foreground:

Here is a sample demonstrating this:

I'll have a look and probably have some questions after I do. I already
optionally send a notify that a new sample was stored.
Or, have your activity get its data from the service via a
ContentProvider, and use a ContentObserver (which happens
automagically if you are using a CursorLoader).
Ah, I'm coding to API level 8 so I'm using a managedQuery. It seemed
like a lot of devices would be cut out if I went to a higher API level.
I guess I'm feeling the frustrations of the moving platform now.
