Question

Already asked a similar question, yet without much luck.

Suppose I have a service and I need a view to pop up above it. In the same time, they both should be intract

Answer 1

Services run in the background and do not have an UI. So you can not show something over a Service.

If you need a Service to notify user about something, then use Notification.

Ayou could use a Toast, but I advise against it, as it can confuse users since it can pop-out over another app's activity.
