Service
suggest changeIntroduction
A Service runs in background to perform long-running operations or to perform work for remote processes. A service does not provide any user interface it runs only in background with User’s input. For example a service can play music in the background while the user is in a different App, or it might download data from the internet without blocking user’s interaction with the Android device.
Remarks
If you have not defined your service in your AndroidManifest.xml, you will receive a ServiceNotFoundException
when attempting to start it.
