How to create toast from IntentService? It gets stuck on the screen

Question

I\'m trying to have my IntentService show a Toast message, but when sending it from the onHandleIntent message, the toast shows but gets stuck and the screen and never leave

Use the Handle to post a Runnable which content your operation

protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent){
    Handler handler=new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
    handler.post(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){ 
        //your operation...
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "hello world", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }  
});
