I have a background service in which I want to show a notification which allows the user to stop it.

In the android SDK docs it says an activity is used to normally launch an Activity. So I am wondering if I need to create an activity to stop the service or can I directly stop the service when user selects the notification,

So how would the intend call back the service to stop it..

Thanks,

    You cannot directly stop the service from a Notification. You can start the service, using an Intent that has an action string or extra or something that the service sees in onStartCommand() and triggers it to call stopSelf().
