To a running service, no. onBind() is only called once per distinct
Intent, and you do not want to bind multiple times from the same
activity, anyway.
However, bear in mind that the primary -- perhaps complete -- reason
you are binding is to get a Binder. You can supply TRIP_INFO via a
method call on the Binder in onServiceConnected(). Passing data via
extras is used when you are using startService() to send commands,
rather than binding.
