Android Question Stopping a service when the app is cleared from Recent app

[Najirm]

I start the service as

StartServiceAt("UpdateService", DateTime.Now + 60 * DateTime.TicksPerSecond, True)

But when the app is closed from the recent app list the service still runs in the background.

Is there a way I can stop the service when the app is cleared from the recent app list? or any other event or method called when the app is cleared from the recent app list?

Call CancelScheduledService(Me) to cancel the StartServiceAt call

CancelScheduledService works when I call this inside the click event of the shutdown button.

How can I call this when the app is cleared from the recent app list?

you cant as you did not get noticed about it.

Is this a foreground service? Otherwise it should be cancelled automatically, at least on newer versions of Android.

The process is killed when the user clears your app so you cannot run anything at that point.
