Hello, in this video, I will show you how to utilize Background and Foreground Services in Android.

There are 3 types of services in Android – Background, Foreground, and Bound. Each of these terms are misleading because it is not describing the behavior of how each service are used, but it is describing how they are terminated.

For Android Developers, a Service is a component that runs on the background to perform long-running tasks.

A Background Service is a service that runs only when the app is running so it’ll get terminated when the app is terminated.

A Foreground Service is a service that stays alive even when the app is terminated.

And a Bound Service is a service that runs only if the component it is bound to is still active.
