title: Sending a notification from a service in Android
body: <p>I have a service running, and would like to send a notification. Too bad, the notification object requires a <code>Context</code>, like an <code>Activity</code>, and not a <code>Service</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know any way to by pass that ? I tried to create an <code>Activity</code> for each notification but it seems ugly, and I can't find a way to launch an <code>Activity</code> without any <code>View</code>.</p>
