Oooh. Don't call Activities from a Service. If you do that, in essence
you're popping something to the foreground independent of the user's
actions, which is a Bad Thing.
Why call Activity B? Can't you do the work in the Service? If you need user
input, try using an AsyncTask instead of a Service.
It's hard to tell you what the right thing to do is, given that you don't
say much about what you're trying to accomplish. But *don't* call an
Activity from a Service.
