Ok I am stuck. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I have no idea where to start with pendingintents. I need to start custom service that sends some data back to the activity that started it. How would I do that?

I would probably register a Broadcast Receiver in my Activity and if I needed to communicate from Service to Activity, send a broadcast from the Service and the Activity’s receiver would pick it up as long as the Activity was currently running. This, by the way, would not require the use of a PendingIntent. PendingIntents are more used with alarms from the AlarmManager or with Notifications.
