How can I share an Object between a running Service and Activity

Question

I have an API Object that I made, and I would like to share it between a running Service and various Activities in my app, almost like if I was to make the class static. How could I go about sharing the created object between the two?

I figured out the best way to do this is to have a class that holds all the information that you want, and to use that class through each activity and service.
