android - Service crashes on 'death' of Activity -


i have activity starts service.

in activity:

startservice(new intent(this, myservice.class)); 

in service, onstart():

/* show notification */ int icon = r.drawable.icon; tickertext = getresources().getstring(r.string.app_name); long when = system.currenttimemillis(); contenttitle = getresources().getstring(r.string.app_name); contenttext = getresources().getstring(r.string.running);  intent notificationintent = new intent(this, activityclass).setaction(intent.action_main).setflags(intent.flag_activity_clear_top | intent.flag_activity_single_top); contentintent = pendingintent.getactivity(this, 0, notificationintent, 0); notification = new notification(icon, tickertext, when); notification.setlatesteventinfo(this, contenttitle, contenttext, contentintent);  notification.flags = notification.flag_ongoing_event;  ((notificationmanager) getsystemservice(context.notification_service)).notify(0, notification);  startforeground(0, notification); 

the service has timer work every 3-4 minutes, , broadcasts info activity if possible. when activity closed, service should keep doing work.

when run app, , go homescreen, service keeps running. after while these logcat messages, , service stops:

07-03 16:55:09.440: info/activitymanager(583): process com.myapp (pid 11665) has died. 07-03 16:55:09.440: warn/activitymanager(583): scheduling restart of crashed service com.myapp/.myservice in 5000ms

how can prevent this?

you don't, speaking.

services not designed run forever. many developers have started services , never stopped them. and, in case, no reason. having service hang around in memory watching clock tick wasteful, , particularly because developers things android "crashes" services after stick around long.

in case, please switch use alarmmanager, in conjunction intentservice, service shuts down on own accord when there no more work done.
