public interface LifecycleService

extends Service, Lifecycle

LifecycleService is a basic interface used to identify a class as a Service that also implements Lifecycle methods. This interface might be implemented by services that need to be initialized, started, and stopped in order to optimize performance, manage expensive system resources, etc. Objects that implement this interface can be registered and looked up using a ServiceManager, which may also start, stop, and monitor the service via it's Lifecycle API.
