[android-developers] Interface for local service?

My Android book, the quite massive Pro Android 3, shows an example of
a local service without an interface (aside from that necessary to
start and stop the service) and a remote service with an interface
defined with aidl. However, it seems that what I need is a local
service with an interface, since the service only has to be available
to its own application, but the application has to be able to send
tasks to the service. Of course, this could be done with a remote
interface, but it seems this would introduce IPC overhead that might
be avoided with a local service. What's the best way to proceed?

TIA,
