You said:

So you're using a Service already and then using an AsyncTask within that to
do things off the main thread, but running into the problem of the Task
staying in a running state.

IntentService is a Service that does the work in a separate thread and stops
itself when there's no more work to do. So it would seem much cleaner and
simpler given your current situation, as I understand it.
