The LocalService sample uses the binding pattern.

In the binding pattern, you supply a Binder implementation, with your
own custom API. If you want that Binder to accept some sort of
listener as a parameter, you can implement that yourself. If you want
your Service to call that listener when an event occurs, you can
implement that yourself.
