Yeah that is a little wrong... the extras are very complicated, because the bind is cached in various places. So you will see the extras for -some- request to bind, but not necessarily the current one.
I would strongly strongly strongly urge against using extras here. There really is no need at all -- you will be getting back a full IPC interface to the object, through which you can do whatever interaction and data passing you want. The Intent in this API is intended -only- to identify which interface you are interested in. (I think I had intended the code to strip out the extras because of how undefined it is about what you will get, but apparently had forgotten to do that.)
