This is correct - onStartCommand is a framework method that exists in 
any service, and so is called by the framework on the UI thread. Same as 
with any service.


The IntentService-specific worker method is onHandleIntent:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/IntentService.html#onHandleIntent(android.content.Intent)

this is called on the worker thread.

Make sure you don't override onStart / onStartCommand, or call the 
superclass. It's these methods in IntentService that dispatch the intent 
to the worker thread, and, ultimately, to onHandleIntent.

[android-developers] Intent Service not actually spawning a new thread

[Bret Foreman]

My IntentService is blocking my UI thread and I wanted to find out
why. So I turned on profiling in the onStartCommand method of the
IntentService and turned it off at the end of the onStartMethod. The
working being done in between is web access with the Apache HTTP
client.

According to the profiler, the onStartCommand method of the
IntentService is running on the main thread, not in a worker thread.
Any idea what could cause this behavior?
