android跨进程通信（IPC）：使用AIDL

public class MyService extends Service

    private static final String PACKAGE_SAYHI = "com.example.test";

    private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
    private boolean mCanRun = true;
    private List<Student> mStudents = new ArrayList<Student>();
    
    //这里实现了aidl中的抽象函数
    private final IMyService.Stub mBinder = new IMyService.Stub() {

        //在这里可以做权限认证，return false意味着客户端的调用就会失败，比如下面，只允许包名为com.example.test的客户端通过，
        //其他apk将无法完成调用过程
        public boolean onTransact(int code, Parcel data, Parcel reply, int flags)
                throws RemoteException {
            String packageName = null;

    @Override

    {
        Thread thr = new Thread(null, new ServiceWorker(), "BackgroundSercie");
        thr.start();

        synchronized (mStudents) {
            for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
                Student student = new Student();
                student.name = "student#" + i;
                student.age = i * 5;

                new Intent(this, MyActivity.class), 0);
        notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, "我的通知", message,
                contentIntent);
        mNotificationManager.notify(R.id.app_notification_id + 1, notification);

    class ServiceWorker implements Runnable
    {
        long counter = 0;

        @Override

        {
            // do background processing here.....
            while (mCanRun)
            {
                Log.d("scott", "" + counter);
                counter++;
                try
                {
                    Thread.sleep(2000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e)
                {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

4. 在AndroidMenifest中声明service

        <service
            android:name="com.ryg.sayhi.MyService"
            android:process=":remote"
            android:exported="true" >
            <intent-filter>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <action android:name="com.ryg.sayhi.MyService" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>

说明：上述的 <action android:name="com.ryg.sayhi.MyService" />是为了能让其他apk隐式bindService，通过隐式调用的方式来起activity或者service，需要把category设为default，这是因为，隐式调用的时候，intent中的category默认会被设置为default。

5. 新建一个工程，充当客户端
