Start/Bind a service in UiAutomatorTestCase

I have a UiAutomatorTestCase:

public class MyUiTest extends UiAutomatorTestCase {   

   public void testMe() throws UiObjectNotFoundException {   
      getUiDevice().pressHome();

      //How can I start/bind a service in the test case?
      //Seems I am not able to get a context in UiAutomatorTestCase
   }
}

I am wondering, is it possible to start/bind a service by using startService(...) or bindService(...) in this class?

You could try to use:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("am start -n package/activity");

The code above executes the command in the Android OS shell. This should start an application. For example, to start settings you could replace package/activity with com.android.settings/.Settings.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for. You could give it a shot.
