资料一
http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/reference/android/app/Service.html
If we want to make this service run in a remote process (instead of the standard one for its .apk), we can use android:process in its manifest
tag to specify one:
<service android:name=".app.MessengerService"
android:process=":remote" />
Note that the name "remote" chosen here is arbitrary, and you can use other names if you want additional processes. The ':' prefix appends the name to your package's standard process name.（是不是这个remote
字符 都是没影响的）
资料二
http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/guide/topics/manifest/service-element.html
android:processrun in the default process created for the application. It has the same name as the application package. The
<application> element's process attributecan set a different default for all components. But component can override the default with its own
process attribute, allowing you to spread your application across multiple processes.
If the name assigned to this attribute begins with a colon (':'), a new process, private to the application, is created when it's needed and the service runs in that process. If the process name begins with a lowercase
character, the service will run in a global process of that name, provided that it has permission to do so. This allows components in different applications to share a process, reducing resource usage.代表在应用程序里，当需要该service时，会自动创建新的进程。而如果是android:process="remote"，没有“:”分号的，则创建全局进程，不同的应用程序共享该进程。
可能大家看了还是不多明白在此我用个小例子为大家解释
Eg、一
当设置为如下是
- <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Microsoft YaHei'"><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(249,249,249)"> <service android:name=".MessengerService"
- </SPAN><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"> android:process="：remote"</SPAN><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(249,249,249)">
- ></service></SPAN></SPAN>
<service android:name=".MessengerService"
android:process="：remote"
></service>
我们可以从DDMS中看到
在MessengerService中 的pid是新的一个 （484） 不同于 main 的478
请看好多了一个进程。(pid就代表一个进程。 )
Eg、二
当在清单中声明的是
- <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Microsoft YaHei"> <service android:name=".MessengerService"
- ></service></SPAN>
<service android:name=".MessengerService"
></service>
在activity和service在同一个进程中关于这个请详细参考 （他们都是在346中）
Service详解（二）
有什么问题请指教，谢谢！
