Mulitple API Calls inside an IntentService/Service

Question

just a quick question (I think this is more of a design question than actually programming) I am looking for a way to do Multiple API calls in an IntentService or a Service giving that the result from one call is being used in another. I thought of having different AsyncTask for each different call but am not if this is an efficient method. Or is it possible to just make the call in the Service without the AsyncTask?.. Any feedback and any other better solution will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Now we have rxJava to help us. I had same requirement in one of my project and used rxJava for that. I have created 2 diff observers one was returning some list which I was passing to second one which was fetching details of each item in the list.
