Re: [android-developers] Which is better, one trigger receiver and multiple services -- or -- one trigger receiver per service.

These are running in the same process.
I need 5, because they all do different tasks, and are quite independent of each other.

But, it seems that you are asking if you should have five separate services and simpler logic or slightly more complex in one.

Unless sufficiently complex I would go with one service and see later if more are needed.

I have a situation where in I need to have 5 or more services running in the same package.
Let's call it service "A", "B", "C", "D" and "E"

Which is a better way of doing this? Better in terms of memory and CPU usage (and hence battery usage and efficiency).

1. Have 1 main service running, apart from the 5 mentioned above.
    Have only one trigger receiver and a the main service is linked with this trigger receiver.
    This will listen to all intents that are required.
    When an intent goes off, then we check if "A" needs this intent. If it needs, then we call startService("A", intent);
    Same with the other 4 services.

2. Have 1 trigger receiver linked with each of the 5 services.
    Handle intents 1 on 1 basis.
