How to set Priority of IntentService in Android

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to set the priority of an IntentService like you can with a Thread. So far I have not found anything.

Answer 1

I changed the IntentService's priority using: "android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(android.os.Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);" in the constructor of the IntentService class.

In my case it was changed from: "Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_DEFAULT" which is zero (0) to "Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND" which is ten (10) and the result was visible.
