Receives information as the service is started and stopped. This must be a valid ServiceConnection object; it must not be null.

Operation options for the binding. May be 0, Android.Content.Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE, Android.Content.Context.BIND_DEBUG_UNBIND, Android.Content.Context.BIND_NOT_FOREGROUND, Android.Content.Context.BIND_ABOVE_CLIENT, Android.Content.Context.BIND_ALLOW_OOM_MANAGEMENT, or Android.Content.Context.BIND_WAIVE_PRIORITY.
Returns
true if the system is in the process of bringing up a service that your client has permission to bind to; false if the system couldn't find the service or if your client doesn't have permission to bind to it. Regardless of the return value, you should later call unbindService(ServiceConnection) to release the connection.
