How to report from a BroadcastReciever back to a Service in android?
<p>I have a service that is running and that is interested in being notified if packages are installed, removed, or updated.  </p>

<p>I understand that I should use a Broadcast receiver, but it clearly says in <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html" rel="nofollow">BroadcastReceiver</a> that...</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>you may not show a dialog or bind to a
  service from within a
  BroadcastReceiver</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So my question is - How can I inform the service that such broadcasts have been made.</p>
