A Service is an application component that can perform long-running operations in the background and does not provide a user interface. Another application component can start a Service and it will continue to run in the background even if the user switches to another application. In this course, Android Services Fundamentals, you'll learn everything you need to know about a Service. First, you'll explore Service, Threads, and Process.
