if you want to stop your service when you are clearing your application from the recent task, you have to define an attribute stopWithTask for service in the manifest file like this as shown below

then you can override onTaskRemoved method in the service , this will be called when the application's task is cleared

@Override
    public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) {
        System.out.println("onTaskRemoved called");
        super.onTaskRemoved(rootIntent);
        //do something you want
        //stop service
        this.stopSelf();
    }
