Android IntentService Queue

Suppose i have two classes that inherit from IntentService. Now quoting from the documentation

All requests are handled on a single worker thread -- they may take as long as necessary (and will not block the application's main loop), but only one request will be processed at a time.

Now suppose my classes are called SericeA extends IntentService, and ServiceB extends IntentServicenow when i call startService for an object of type ServiceA and startService for an Object of type ServiceB, will these both be handled by the same worker thread. Is there a System wide worker thread, or just a worker thread associated with a particular IntentService.

No.

Yes.

You can tell this by looking at the source code to IntentService and noticing that each IntentService creates its own HandlerThread.
