How to instantiate android service with a constructor?

Question

    mHandler = handler;
}

I want

Answer 1

Dont pass the Handler to the Service, Handler doesnt implement Parcelable, or Serializable, so I dont think thats possible.

Create the Handler in the Service, and pass any data you need to create the Handler via Intent Extras to the Service.
