title: Binding a Service to an android.app.Activity vs Binding it to an android.app.Application
body: <p>Is there any <em>fundamental</em> difference in binding a service to an <code>android.app.Activity</code> vs binding it to an <code>android.app.Application</code>. I want to <a href="http://developer.android.com/resources/faq/framework.html" rel="noreferrer"><em>bind</em> the service to an <code>Application</code> because I want to keep some global state/data in the Application instead of duplicating it in all my activities</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
