How To Stop Running Services?

I have this code that describes a service: public class navigation_web extends Service { Context context; public void navigation() { Cursor mCur = getContentResol

Solution 1:

There is another method that it's called stopService(Intent intent). Inside the service, you can call stopSelf().

Solution 2:

use the activity stopService() method:

stopService(newIntent(ActivityName.this, ServiceClassName.class));

Solution 3:

stopService(Intent intent) is the method to stop any specific service

Solution 4:

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

Solution 5:

Complementing @Makvin answer. Stopping a service outside of it

publicstatic ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo getRunningServiceInfo(Class serviceClass, Context context) {
    ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    for (ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
        if (serviceClass.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
            return service;
        }
    }
    returnnull;
}

And after

newTimer().schedule(newTimerTask() {
        @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
            final ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfoserviceInfo= getRunningServiceInfo(service, c);
            if (serviceInfo != null) {
                android.os.Process.killProcess(serviceInfo.pid); //Stop the running service
            }
        }
}, 200); 

I'm putting killProcess inside another thread otherwise for some reason all the app is killed. In this way the app is minimized when the process is killed (less bad), suggestions are welcome
