Android Question Starter service question

I have two apps where the Starter service is set to run at bootup, and also to restart themselves every so often. I believe the two apps are clobbering each other, and I'm wondering if this is because they both have a service with the same name, "Starter". I actually have several related questions, but for now, just this one... Should I rename these scheduled services something other than just "Starter" to prevent problems, or is it okay to have multiple apps all having a service with the same name?

Two apps can have the same services names till their package names are different. But you shouldn't put the Starter service to be started. Use another service for that. The Starter service will automatically be started when that one starts.
