=============================================================
1. USAGE

The ANT HAL Service provides a transport from the ANT Radio Service (or 
any application which binds to IAntHal AIDL) through JNI to the native ANT 
stack code (libantradio.so).  It provides the basics of send/recieve Rx 
messages, enable, disable and get the enebaled state.
