title: Is there a way to use retrofit in a service (or something similar)?
body: <p>I rolled my own restful services and JSON parsing and am hoping to switch to Retrofit.  Currently my activity sends an intent to a service to fetch the necessary data.  The result is passed to a receiver which handles the parsing.  I'm not sure how to do this with Retrofit, since services can't return complex objects.  Of course I could convert my objects back to a string so they can be bundled up, but this defeats the entire point of using Retrofit with GSON.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a clean way to do this?  I like how my current implementation kept my Activity clean from knowing about the end point and data parsing.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
