As per The Busy Coder's Guide to Advanced Android Development

An Event Bus is a great way for the service to let other pieces of the app know that certain work was done. It provides a standard communications channel (or “bus”) that event producers and event consumers can hook into. Event producers merely need to hand the event to the bus; the bus will handle directing those events to relevant consumers. This reduces the coupling between the producers and consumers, sometimes even reducing the amount of code needed to source and sink these events.
