I agree with Mr. Boston (pssst...can I call you Streets? ;-)

I have a slight preference for keeping a static reference to the
service, rather than the activity. Services are naturally singletons:
you'll either have zero or one of them. You *could* have more that one
instance of your activity going, which might complicate a single static
reference.

Hence, if it's six of one/half dozen of the other, I'd lean towards
putting the static reference on the service.
