From what I understand, an IntentService can only handle one Intent at a time as it shares a worker thread to do all of its work. But if I have multiple IntentServices in my app, can they run in parallel, or do they all share the single worker thread as well?

Never tried it before, why not just try it? – zgc7009 Sep 16 '14 at 22:55

1I'm lazy. I just tried it and they do indeed run in parallel. I'll accept CommonsWare's answer in a minute ... – Karim Varela Sep 16 '14 at 23:02

If you mean that you have multiple subclasses of IntentService, they should be able to run in parallel.
