Parent and children communicate via a service in Angular2

child.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';

import { CommonService } from './common.service';

@Component({
  selector   : 'child',
  templateUrl : './child.html'
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  private subscription: Subscription;
  constructor( private commonService: CommonService ){
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.subscription = this.commonService.notifyObservable$.subscribe((res) => {
      if (res.hasOwnProperty('option') && res.option === 'call_child') {
        console.log(res.value);
        // perform your other action from here

      }
    });
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.subscription.unsubscribe();
  }
}

common.service.ts

import { Injectable, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Subject }    from 'rxjs/Subject';
@Injectable()
export class CommonService {
  private notify = new Subject<any>();
  /**
   * Observable string streams
   */
  notifyObservable$ = this.notify.asObservable();

  constructor(){}

  public notifyOther(data: any) {
    if (data) {
      this.notify.next(data);
    }
  }
}

parent.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';

import { CommonService } from './common.service';

@Component({
  selector   : 'parent',
  templateUrl : './parent.html'
})
export class ParentComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  constructor( private commonService: CommonService ){
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.commonService.notifyOther({option: 'call_child', value: 'From child'});
  }
}
