Android Question ExitApplication & Service

[pesquera]

Hi All,
I have an App that do a StartService to Intercept sms
My question is: if I apply ExitApplication on my Main App, will also close that Service? (I want the service always on)
Thanks

Yes

Ok, thanks for you soon reply (y)

This is not 100% correct. Make sure to call StopService before calling ExitApplication, other Android may restart the process.

Thanks Erel,
Now,
Is there a way to check if the service is off? So, I'll call StartService if needed
What happens if I StartService many times? (on Main)
Does the service starts many times? or, just don't start it because is already started

To check if the service is running

if not(isPaused(Service_Name)) then
  DoSomeThing
else
  StartService(Service_Name)
end if

And if you call StartService many times, your service will restart (it will pass the Service_Create one time but many times Service_Start)
