Notify activity from service

Question

I\'m trying to start a Service from my Activity to look out for changes on a web page, it\'s a private app so I don\'t bother the battery life...

Answer 1

The ResultReceiver mechanism has been explained in another post :- Restful API service However it would not work in all cases. Please refer to my comment on that post. The limited scope broadcast or PendingIntent mechanism seem more suitable.
