I have a service which creates a thread. This thread does some work and then calls sendBroadcast() on the Service. This means sendBroadcast() is called from the worker thread and not from the thread the service is running in.

Is this OK or should I make sure sendBroadcast() is called from the same thread as the Service (by using Handler and Runnable) ?

I found this on stackoverflow and Dianne Hackborns post.

According to the post it should be fine. The reason I ask is because the post is 2 years old and maybe something has changed. Also I could not find anything about this in the Android documentation.

    That is fine. The Broadcast is handed to the Android OS and it is actually sent using OS threads so your thread that sends it does not matter.
