RemoteService

public class RemoteService extends android.app.Service
This is an example of implementing an application service that runs in a different process than the application. Note that it is no different than {@link LocalService} -- the only difference is how we describe it in AndroidManifest.xml. The {@link RemoteServiceController} and {@link RemoteServiceBinding} classes show how to interact with the service.

Fields Summary
static final int
GET_PID_TRANSACTION
This is the one call we can receive from clients.
private final IRemoteService.Stub
mBinder
The IRemoteInterface is defined through IDL
private android.app.NotificationManager
