Where to find RemoteCallbackList sample code?

Just define a callback interface and bind to it in your client and call it in your service and you're done.

[android-developers] Re: Scheduling a repeating task and being notified
Sorry, my fault. I was reading PendingIntent.send(). It was what I meant. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/e5431d6a90b91646/a0892f62e2b42495#a0892f62e2b42495 is my concern. Dalvik process is a zygoted JVM instance within a Linux process. It's my understanding. Feel free to correct me please.
