Service VS Daemon: What’s the difference?

Though both services and daemon run in the background of the core of the Android OS and don’t have any Graphical User Interface (GUI) there is a basic difference between the two.

You can consider service as a daemon and vice versa as in most of the cases both just perform an extremely similar kind of work in the Android’s background.
