I'm inclined to say a Service would be better for Context access instead of a noop Activity. You should be able to make the Service instantiate needed resources or provide an implementation to instantiate those resources and a method for communicating that logic in Go. If you don't want parallel versions of the Go executable running, you may want to handle this in the Service that spawns the subprocess as well.

See here for usage: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html#am I'm unaware of any backward-compatibility claims made for `am` though.
