Thank you for your answers. That's what I do:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/83036/ I've just shortened it up a bit. With the binded service I'm calling a method which is waiting for a location update. I'm registering the LocationManager from the onStart() method of the service. (thats why I need the startService(..) ) When the location listener gets called the above mentioned method stops waiting and does its work and returns the result to the activity. This is working pretty fine but now I'm not pretty sure what happens (regarding the opening of new threads) when I start/bind my service. From my point of view and what I've seen in the DDMS just the one "background" thread gets added to the thread list which I don't really understand. (I thought that starting a service leads to a new thread in which the service runs) I would be happy if someone could explain what really happens. :-) Regards!
