You can use the BundleContext to get to the Service, by using the #getServiceReference and #getService methods. For example, if you were interested in the ResourceResolverFactory, you could get it like so:

ServiceReference factoryRef =
     bundleContext.getServiceReference(ResourceResolverFactory.class.getName());
ResourceResolverFactory resolverFactory = 
    (ResourceResolverFactory) bundleContext.getService(factoryRef);
