Note that the docs reference here refer to a very different version of the Binder. What we have in Android is similar in concept, but shares none of the same code (we had to rewrite everything because the OpenBinder implementation is MPL and our code needs to use the Apache 2.0 license), and is very stripped down in functionality to do only the things we needed in Android.
Also technically none of this has anything to do with Dalvik, but is in a layer above Dalvik and part of the Android platform libraries. The main API for interacting with the Binder is android.os.IBinder and android.os.Binder.
