android dev: Services

Question

i need to know that do i define the service class as a seperate .class file or do i define it within my main class of the activity ?

can someone provide me with an example apart from this one... http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html

??? :/ Thank you

Here's an example of using Services from the docs. In this case for Bluetooth. It should give you enough of an idea of how to construct your own.
