You have to create a class extending from Service class, the demo code is given below

Please Note this is the code form my College Project, it is for starting up default Alarm using Ringtone from BroadcastReciever extending Activity and Stopping the Ringtone from different normal Android Activity.

Service Class code:

import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.Ringtone;
import android.media.RingtoneManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.IBinder;
public class AlarmRing extends Service {
static Ringtone r;

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
    //activating alarm sound
    Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
    r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getBaseContext(), notification);
    //playing sound alarm
    r.play();

    return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
    r.stop();
}
}

Code for Activity calling the Service:

Intent i = new Intent(context, AlarmRing.class);
context.startService(i);

Activity ending or closing the Service:

Intent i = new Intent(this, AlarmRing.class);
stopService(i);`

NOTE: please note for context reference.
