Summary

Inherited constants

int START_CONTINUATION_MASK

Bits returned by onStartCommand(Intent, int, int) describing how to continue the service if it is killed.

int START_FLAG_REDELIVERY

This flag is set in onStartCommand(Intent, int, int) if the Intent is a re-delivery of a previously delivered intent, because the service had previously returned START_REDELIVER_INTENT but had been killed before calling stopSelf(int) for that Intent.

int START_FLAG_RETRY

This flag is set in onStartCommand(Intent, int, int) if the Intent is a retry because the original attempt never got to or returned from onStartCommand(android.content.Intent, int, int).

int START_NOT_STICKY

Constant to return from onStartCommand(Intent, int, int): if this service's process is killed while it is started (after returning from onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)), and there are no new start intents to deliver to it, then take the service out of the started state and don't recreate until a future explicit call to Context.startService(Intent).

int START_REDELIVER_INTENT

Constant to return from onStartCommand(Intent, int, int): if this service's process is killed while it is started (after returning from onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)), then it will be scheduled for a restart and the last delivered Intent re-delivered to it again via onStartCommand(Intent, int, int).

int START_STICKY

abstract void sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent intent, String receiverPermission)

Broadcast the given intent to all interested BroadcastReceivers, delivering them one at a time to allow more preferred receivers to consume the broadcast before it is delivered to less preferred receivers.

abstract void sendOrderedBroadcastAsUser(Intent intent, UserHandle user, String receiverPermission, BroadcastReceiver resultReceiver, Handler scheduler, int initialCode, String initialData, Bundle initialExtras)

Version of sendOrderedBroadcast(android.content.Intent, java.lang.String, android.content.BroadcastReceiver, android.os.Handler, int, java.lang.String, android.os.Bundle) that allows you to specify the user the broadcast will be sent to.

abstract void sendStickyBroadcast(Intent intent)

This method was deprecated in API level 21. Sticky broadcasts should not be used. They provide no security (anyone can access them), no protection (anyone can modify them), and many other problems. The recommended pattern is to use a non-sticky broadcast to report that something has changed, with another mechanism for apps to retrieve the current value whenever desired.

void sendStickyBroadcast(Intent intent, Bundle options)

This method was deprecated in API level 31. Sticky broadcasts should not be used. They provide no security (anyone can access them), no protection (anyone can modify them), and many other problems. The recommended pattern is to use a non-sticky broadcast to report that something has changed, with another mechanism for apps to retrieve the current value whenever desired.

abstract void startIntentSender(IntentSender intent, Intent fillInIntent, int flagsMask, int flagsValues, int extraFlags, Bundle options)

Like startActivity(android.content.Intent, android.os.Bundle), but taking a IntentSender to start.

abstract ComponentName startService(Intent service)

Request that a given application service be started.

abstract boolean stopService(Intent service)

Request that a given application service be stopped.

abstract void unbindService(ServiceConnection conn)

Disconnect from an application service.

void unregisterComponentCallbacks(ComponentCallbacks callback)

Removes a device ID changed listener from the Context.

abstract void unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver)

Unregister a previously registered BroadcastReceiver.

void updateServiceGroup(ServiceConnection conn, int group, int importance)

For a service previously bound with bindService(Intent, BindServiceFlags, Executor, ServiceConnection) or a related method, change how the system manages that service's process in relation to other processes.

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

abstract void onTrimMemory(int level)

Called when the operating system has determined that it is a good time for a process to trim unneeded memory from its process.

abstract void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig)

Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running.

abstract void onLowMemory()

This method was deprecated in API level 35. Since API level 14 this is superseded by ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory. Since API level 34 this is never called. Apps targeting API level 34 and above may provide an empty implementation.

Public constructors

VoiceInteractionSessionService

public VoiceInteractionSessionService ()

Public methods

onBind

Added in API level 21
public IBinder onBind (Intent intent)

Return the communication channel to the service. May return null if clients can not bind to the service. The returned IBinder is usually for a complex interface that has been described using aidl.

Note that unlike other application components, calls on to the IBinder interface returned here may not happen on the main thread of the process. More information about the main thread can be found in Processes and Threads.

Parameters
intent Intent: The Intent that was used to bind to this service, as given to Context.bindService. Note that any extras that were included with the Intent at that point will not be seen here.

Returns
IBinder Return an IBinder through which clients can call on to the service.

onConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 21
public void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration newConfig)

Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running. Note that, unlike activities, other components are never restarted when a configuration changes: they must always deal with the results of the change, such as by re-retrieving resources.

At the time that this function has been called, your Resources object will have been updated to return resource values matching the new configuration.

For more information, read Handling Runtime Changes.

Parameters
newConfig Configuration: The new device configuration. This value cannot be null.

onCreate

Added in API level 21
public void onCreate ()

Called by the system when the service is first created. Do not call this method directly.

onLowMemory

Added in API level 21
public void onLowMemory ()

This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage. While the exact point at which this will be called is not defined, generally it will happen when all background process have been killed. That is, before reaching the point of killing processes hosting service and foreground UI that we would like to avoid killing.

onNewSession

Added in API level 21
public abstract VoiceInteractionSession onNewSession (Bundle args)

Parameters
args Bundle

onTrimMemory

Added in API level 21
public void onTrimMemory (int level)

Called when the operating system has determined that it is a good time for a process to trim unneeded memory from its process. You should never compare to exact values of the level, since new intermediate values may be added -- you will typically want to compare if the value is greater or equal to a level you are interested in.

To retrieve the processes current trim level at any point, you can use ActivityManager.getMyMemoryState(RunningAppProcessInfo).

Protected methods

dump

Added in API level 21
protected void dump (FileDescriptor fd, 
                PrintWriter writer, 
                String[] args)

Print the Service's state into the given stream. This gets invoked if you run "adb shell dumpsys activity service <yourservicename>" (note that for this command to work, the service must be running, and you must specify a fully-qualified service name). This is distinct from "dumpsys <servicename>", which only works for named system services and which invokes the IBinder#dump method on the IBinder interface registered with ServiceManager.

Parameters
fd FileDescriptor: The raw file descriptor that the dump is being sent to.

writer PrintWriter: The PrintWriter to which you should dump your state. This will be closed for you after you return.

args String: additional arguments to the dump request.
