# ServiceExtensionContext

The **ServiceExtensionContext** module, inherited from **ExtensionContext**, provides context for Service Extension abilities.

You can use the APIs of this module to start, terminate, connect, and disconnect abilities.

> **NOTE**
> 
>  - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>  - The APIs of this module can be used only in the stage model.

## Usage

Before using the **ServiceExtensionContext** module, you must define a child class that inherits from **ServiceExtensionAbility**.

```ts
  import ServiceExtensionAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.ServiceExtensionAbility';

  let context = undefined;
  class MainAbility extends ServiceExtensionAbility {
    onCreate() {
      context = this.context;
    }
  }
```

## ServiceExtensionContext.startAbility

startAbility(want: Want, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void;

Starts an ability. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Ability.AbilityRuntime.Core

**System API**: This is a system API and cannot be called by third-party applications.

**Parameters**

  | Name| Type| Mandatory| Description| 
  | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
  | want | [Want](js-apis-application-Want.md)  | Yes| Want information about the target ability, such as the ability name and bundle name.| 
  | callback | AsyncCallback<void> | Yes| Callback used to return the result.| 

**Error codes**
