No; unfortunately the debugger is only capable of debugging one process at a
time. (Please file an enhancement request.)

The debugger arguments are stored as an Android system property
("debug.mono.extra") which is system wide.
However, there are ways you can exploit this to make things work:
1. The debug.mono.extra system property contains a "timeout" value, which is
~5-10s after when you started debugging. If your Activity were to wait ~15s
before starting the Service, the Service process startup shouldn't attempt to
connect to the debugger, so things should work.
2. Your Activity could explicitly clear the debug.mono.extra system property,
e.g. via executing `setprop debug.mono.extra ''` (though executing this process
may require Android permissions; I'm not entirely sure).
