Answer 1

if you are binding to the service, in the service connection callback, you will receive the IBinder object, use that and fetch your service object and you can call methods on it like a normal object methods

look at the way LocalService object is captured in the example mentioned in android documentation

Answer 2

如果要通过服务启动活动，则可以通过Intent传递数据。
