This topic has been hashed quite a bit - but there doesn't seem to be a clear answer - at least not one that i could find.
Background - I'm developing an app and I think some processing can be done in the background - e.g. database and image processing (create bitmaps, rotate etc - i can do that in a background right?). So I'd like an efficient way of calling the background when to start a specific job and then have the background service notify the caller with a result when done. Option 1 - create a service - that waits and returns status. haven't figured out a way of doing the latter. Option 2 - I suppose I could start a new activity with no UI and then call startIntentForResult(). i.e. an Acitivy for each background job.
