Explain key differences between Service and IntentService

Here are the key differences between Service and IntentService in Android:

Usage

• Service can be used for both short and long running tasks, while IntentService is best suited for long-running tasks that don't need to be run again[1][2][3].
• Service can handle multiple requests simultaneously, while IntentService handles one request at a time and stops itself when the request is complete[1][4].

Threading

• Service runs on the main thread of the application by default, so you need to create a new thread to avoid blocking the UI[1][2][3].
• IntentService runs on a separate worker thread, so it doesn't block the main thread[1][2][3].

Lifecycle

• Service can be stopped and restarted as needed, while IntentService cannot be restarted after it is stopped[1][4].
• Service requires manually calling stopSelf() or stopService() to stop, while IntentService stops itself automatically when all intents have been processed[1][2][...
