Basically, the app is caller and the service is callee. A service can only be started when the app is in the foreground. And the app can only be launched by the user. Thank you.

Hi @narae0.kim

Thank you for your answer. But what about a service with method exposed to other applications, in this case the service must be running to receive requests or when the other app sends a request a service activity is created by the activity manager ?

Thank you.
