Are there other reasons as well? My understanding of Binder service in Android is that it is a Service User and Service Provider model, that means for two way communication(specially from Service Provider to Service Users, in case of asynchronous notifications, callbacks etc, the Service User also has to start a service for receving these events,etc).I am just wondering about the possibility of two way communication between processes using Binder, can you comment on that?
