Answer 1

Register a receiver for

public static final String ACTION_SERVICE_STATE_CHANGED = "android.intent.action.SERVICE_STATE";

When you get intent on your receiver just use below little hack from android source

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    int state = intent.getExtras().getInt("state");
    if(state == ServiceState.STATE_IN_SERVICE)
    {
        //Do whatever you want
    }
    }

check source of service state class http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/1.5_r4/android/telephony/ServiceState.java#ServiceState.setFromNotifierBundle%28android.os.Bundle%29
