How to stop service by itself?

by

By saying “doesn’t work”, I guess you mean that the onDestroy()-method of the service is not invoked.

I had the same problem, because I bound some ServiceConnection to the Service itself using the flag BIND_AUTO_CREATE.
This causes the service to be kept alive until every connection is unbound.

Once I change to use no flag (zero), I had no problem killing the service by itself (stopSelf()).

Example code:

final Context appContext = context.getApplicationContext();
final Intent intent = new Intent(appContext, MusicService.class);
appContext.startService(intent);
ServiceConnection connection = new ServiceConnection() {
  // ...
};
appContext.bindService(intent, connection, 0);

Killing the service (not process):

this.stopSelf();

Hope that helped.
