Can’t we launch an activity from a service ? If so, will the service keep running in background in a separate thread and the launched activity in foreground as a separate thread ?

You can call startActivity() on a Service or any other Context.

In Java, objects do not run on threads. Methods run on threads. The fact that the activity was launched from a service does not affect this at all. Pretty much everything with both an Activity and a Service by default occurs on the main application thread, and that too does not change because the Service launched an Activity.
