Apps Invoke Activity from Service

[frank.sposaro]

Hello,

I'm working on an app for fall detection.
I have an activity that starts a service. The service monitors the accelerometer for abnormal readings. Once found, I need to Alert the Activity to do some task. I create an intent and call startActivity(Intent), but my log says that I can't call startActivity(Intent) from inside the service.

Can anybody lend a helping hand? I've been looking at code examples and reading documentation, but it's not helping.

Thanks

Oh man. What I wouldn't give to have this as the biggest of my problems again, lol.

Anyway to answer my own question, you can only call startActivity from within a context. I'm actually working on AIDL now, that is what made me stumble back by my old post.
