Sending notifications to the user
When a service is running, it can notify the user of events using Toast Notifications or Status Bar Notifications.
A toast notification is a message that appears on the surface of the current window for only a moment before disappearing. A status bar notification provides an icon in the status bar with a message, which the user can select in order to take an action (such as start an activity).
Usually, a status bar notification is the best technique to use when background work such as a file download has completed, and the user can now act on it. When the user selects the notification from the expanded view, the notification can start an activity (such as to display the downloaded file).
See the Toast Notifications or Status Bar Notifications developer guides for more information.
