title: Service vs IntentService in the Android platform
body: <p>I am seeking an example of something that can be done with an <code>IntentService</code> that cannot be done with a <code>Service</code> (and vice-versa)?</p>
  
  <p>I also believe that an <code>IntentService</code> runs in a different thread and a <code>Service</code> does not.  So, as far as I can see, starting a service within its own thread is like starting an <code>IntentService</code>.  Is that correct?</p>
