Android: When to use Service vs Singleton?

Viewed 10837

I'm quite new to Android development.

When is it a good idea to create an Android Service instead of just using a simple Singleton class?

Take, for example, the data layer downloading information feeds from the internet.

Using a Service seems too much for some cases but sometimes I might need access to a Context so I'm a little unsure about how to design the app.
