For instance: I have 2 activities. Activity A and B. Activity B starts a service as soon it gets launched. But I want to start the service through activity A, so I need to somehow start Activity B from A without showing it on screen

Step #1: Call startService() in Activity A.

Step #2: There is no step #2.

If you want to have some common code, where either Activity A or Activity B can start the service, create a static method, or create a base class that both A and B inherit from.
