title: How to get Android Local Service instance
body: <p>I'm starting a service in my application using startService.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to use bindService as I want to handle the service life time myself.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get an instance to the service started if I do not use bindService? I want to be able to get a handler I've created in the service class to post messages from the activity.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
