I think you would always front-end the RemoteService with an Activity
for manage the Intent interaction. We could design specific Activities
to handle the app-to-app interaction. There would be an Activity for
authorizing apps to use the Gibber App Messging Engine (GAME!), which
should show a yes/no dialog perhaps. There would be another Activity
that would work sans-UI or perhaps with a progress dialog to indicating
message sending success/failure.

I know this is work that is tangential to our core goals with this stage
of Gibber, and while we won't get to it for a few months (unless another
dev jumps in), I am mostly hoping it can inform our design decisions at
this stage.
