You need to set up the aidl as you have to connect to the service as
you have, you then need to register a seperate call back interface
with the service, and implement that interface in your activity, the
API demos has an example of this, under remote service. I have
successfully set up two way communication for an activity and service
using a callback interface, so it can be done.
