Android Nfc Start Service

I'm curious if Android NFC service allows the developer to start a Service (or IntentService for that matter) when NFC tag is scanned? From Android Developers: When a device scans

Solution 1:

Although not the direct method, you could have a barebones Activity that will immediately start a service, then quit:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  Context con = getApplicationContext();
  Intent srv = new Intent(con, TargetService.class);
  con.startService(srv);
  finish();
}
