<strong>Caveat:</strong> ResultReceiver instance passed to this method can be a long-lived object, because it may not be garbage-collected until all the corresponding ResultReceiver objects transferred to different processes get garbage-collected. Follow the general patterns to avoid memory leaks in Android. Consider to use java.lang.ref.WeakReference so that application logic objects such as android.app.Activity and Context can be garbage collected regardless of the lifetime of ResultReceiver.
