How to stop Android service when app is closed

Question

I\'m trying to keep service running continously until user close app.

I\'m using startService() method from onCreate() method of my main activi

Answer 1

Start by adding the android:configChanges node to your Activity's manifest node for stoping restart activity when device rotate.

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"

Now for detecting a closing application event, think the ways user can close app manually. In android, by pressing a back button or home button. So put an event key listener for back & home button and terminate the service.
