I am trying to manage the options items, making one button visible and
another invisible based on whether a background service is active.

Here's a snippet of my menu/option.xml:
        <item android:id="@+id/arm"
                android:title="Arm"
        />
        <item android:id="@+id/disarm"
                android:title="Disarm"
                android:visible="false"
                android:enabled="false"
        />

and my onPrepareOptionsMenu():
    @Override
    public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo amRSI = new
ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo();
        if(amRSI.started) {
            menu
                .findItem(R.id.arm)
                .setVisible(false);
         } else {
            menu
                .findItem(R.id.disarm)
                .setVisible(true)
                .setEnabled(true);
        }
        return true;
    }

However, both buttons show when hitting the menu tab in the emulator
before starting the service.

Can someone lend me a hand?

Thanks.
