Activity
An activity is a class that represents a single screen. If you open
multiple activities they are stacked at top of each other . You can’t
arrange activities side by side, like you can do with desktop
windows. Since mobile phone screens are small, an activity
typically takes up the whole screen.

9
Services
Service is background process that can run for a long
time. A service is a component which runs in the
background without direct interaction with the user. As
the service has no user interface, it is not bound to the
lifecycle of an activity.

10
 Content Provider
Is the standard way through which one application
communicate with other. Every android application has
its own process and permissions, its data is hidden from
other applications.

11
Broadcast receiver
The broadcast receiver is yet another type of component that can
receive and respond to any broadcast announcements, in
particular it is used to listen for intents.
