currently, i’m starting a background service using Intent in my app, but is there anyway of determining when the service has completed?
..possibly by using some kind of listener, or sending a message from the service, to the activity??
First, activities and services can communicate: the easiest is to use a custom broadcast.
Second, if your service is short lived and is outlived by activity invoking it, then you might instead consider using AsyncTask to simply run your task in the background thread.
