My Android book, the quite massive Pro Android 3, shows an example of a local service without an interface (aside from that necessary to start and stop the service) and a remote service with an interface defined with aidl. However, it seems that what I need is a local service with an interface, since the service only has to be available to its own application, but the application has to be able to send tasks to the service. Of course, this could be done with a remote interface, but it seems this would introduce IPC overhead that might be avoided with a local service. What's the best way to proceed?
