You have to use
*START_STICKY*<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#START_STICKY>which
is a sticky service, also add flag *FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND
<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND>*while
starting your service. when you use START_STICKY make sure you do not
pass any data via intent, since your app/activity is killed, but you can
re-start the service.
Ex : you need to read the values from Sensors and do operations. all the
values are generated within the service only.
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
stopped, so return sticky.
return START_STICKY;
}
you have to call *stopService();
<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#stopService%28android.content.Intent%29>*manually
to kill the service, else you will use huge memory.
