 * This is an example of implementing an application service that uses the

 * remote interaction with a service, without needing to define an AIDL
 * interface.
 *
 * <p>Notice the use of the {@link NotificationManager} when interesting things
 * happen in the service.  This is generally how background services should
 * interact with the user, rather than doing something more disruptive such as
 * calling startActivity().
