A good way to have it is using Handler. Create a innerClass in your activity that extends Handler and Override the handleMessage method.

Then, in your ServiceReceiver class, create a handler variable and a constructor like:

public ServiceReceiver(Handler handler){
   this.handler = handler;
}

So, in your activity, create your custom handler and pass it to your service. So, when you wants to put some data to your activity, you can put handler.sendMessage() in your Service (it will call handleMessage of your innerClass).
