  1. You can follow these steps:

    1. Create a template with your PHP code
    2. Create a page. Let’s say the admin page is /my-service. Assign the template you created in step 1 to this page.

    Your adroid application can now call your wordpress service via the URL . mydomain.com/my-service.

    Notes:

    1. I assumed you meant a REST service.
    2. Creating web services in WP is possible, but not ideal because URL pathing would be very hard. i.e. WordPress wouldn’t know how to parse /player/id vs /player/id/status .. the first asks for all the player data, the second asks for a particular attribute of a player.
