How to add a system service to the Android Framework

Question

I want to add my own framework code that runs in the Android \"system_server\" (handles all the system level services). My service loads a JNI library that talks to a driver

Texas instruments has provided a nice example:

Additionally, the CyanogenMod SystemServer.java has also code for dynamically loading system services as defined in the array "config_vendorServices" in config.xml (see core/res/res/values/config.xml), which I believe can be overwritten in the vendor or device directories using the overlays. This is a CyanogenMod-specific addition, added in this commit:
