Service 运行在主线程

Service

Android Developer对于Service如下定义，

A Service is an application component that can perform long-running
operations in the background and does not provide a user interface.
Another application component can start a service and it will continue
to run in the background even if the user switches to another
application. Additionally, a component can bind to a service to
interact with it and even perform interprocess communication (IPC).
For example, a service might handle network transactions, play music,
perform file I/O, or interact with a content provider, all from the
background.

简单翻译一下，一个服务（Service）是一个应用的组件，其可以在后台执行长时间的操作，而且不提供UI。其他应用组件可以开启一个服务，该服务将会在后台一直运行，纵使用户切换到了其他应用。另外，一个组件可以捆绑到服务上，来与其交互，甚至执行IPC。例如，一个服务可以执行网络链接、播放音乐、执行I/O或者和一个内容提供者（Content Provider）交互，都是在后台运行。
