Do either startService() or bindService(), not both.

Do either unbindService() or stopService(), matching up with what you
chose to do in onResume().
Unless your service is in some other process (which the use of
TrackingService.class suggests it is not), you probably do not want to
use bindService()/unbindService(). Use startService() to start it, then
use stopService() only when you want to stop the service. Since it is in
your process, use other means (e.g., static singleton reference to the
service) to communicate with it from the activity.
Right now, your service stop shortly after your activity goes
off-screen, because you are telling the service to stop in onPause().
