Remarks
Reference to a Handler, which others can use to send messages to it. This allows for the implementation of message-based communication across processes, by creating a Messenger pointing to a Handler in one process, and handing that Messenger to another process.
Note: the implementation underneath is just a simple wrapper around a Binder that is used to perform the communication. This means semantically you should treat it as such: this class does not impact process lifecycle management (you must be using some higher-level component to tell the system that your process needs to continue running), the connection will break if your process goes away for any reason, etc.
