Is it possible to start a service with a shortcut?

问题:

I'm trying to create a shortcut on the home screen that, when pressed, will start a service instead of an activity.

Is it possible? How?

Thanks!

回答1:

You can create a dummy Activity that simply starts a Service, then finishes itself:

public class MyServiceActivity extends Activity {     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);          Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class);         startService(intent);         finish();     } }

No, sorry. Shortcuts only launch activities.
