You can add an execution-listener to ANY activity there is, example:


<serviceTask id="service" activiti:class="org.activiti.engine.test.bpmn.async.AsyncService" activiti:async="true">
  <extensionElements>
   <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.activiti.engine.test.bpmn.async.AsyncListener" />
  </extensionElements>
 </serviceTask>

This allows you to be notified on either the "start" and "end" event.
