The Major Difference between a Service and an IntentService is described as follows:

Service :

1.A Service by default, runs on the application's main thread.(here no default worker thread is available).So the user needs to create a separate thread and do the required work in that thread.

2.Allows Multiple requests at a time.(Multi Threading)

IntentService :

1.Now, coming to IntentService, here a default worker thread is available to perform any operation. Note that - You need to implement onHandleIntent() method ,which receives the intent for each start request, where you can do the background work.

2.But it allows only one request at a time.
