Oleksi: What do you mean by 'killed'? Do you mean that its 'onDestroy' method gets called?
Let's assume you are talking explicitly about starting the Service, not binding to it: If a Service is started by some other component, it needs to be explicitly stopped, either by the same component, an other component or by the Service itself (stopSelf). If the process contains both your Service and your components that can start or stop the Service, your Service's onDestroy will not get called until it is explicitly stopped. As far as I can tell, calling onDestroy out-of-the-blue would violate the contract between the user(s) of Service and the Service itself. When your Activity (app) goes to the background, the entire process could get killed at some point (especially, for example, if you have a Service running that uses a lot of resources causing your entire app to be resource heavy). But that means that both your Activity and Service get killed (process killed) at the same time.
