How can use resultReceiver without startService?

Question

I need get some progress of my intent service, but in my search I find the resultReceiver and looks good and easy to implement, but the examples what I see pass the receiver throw intent but a can't pass because my intent service its activate by BroadcastReceiver. So, I get the progress of intentService when the user enter in some activity.

Here's one example I seen and here another

Answer 1

If you already start your IntentService and don't pass ResultReceiver with this call, there is no way to pass it while IntentService will executed your onHandleIntent(). In this case you can make your own Service that will have something like onHandleIntent() that will be executed on HandlerThread (IntentService make the same thing under the hood). So with a simple Service you can receive your ResultReceiver in onStartCommand() and make some callback to your UI by checking for instance of ResultReceiver in onHandleIntent()
