What do you mean by an IntentService? A singleton object running a Thread would be easier to implement and would probably port out of the box on other java based platforms. However it would have the following drawbacks:
- Android only treats Activities and Services as components. So if you are using a singleton object to do the grunt work, your process would become a candidate to be killed with higher probability in low memory conditions. - Notifications require a Context in android. So a singleton object would not be able to issue notifications. I would suggest using a Service.
