Question

Hi i created a service successfully

public class Securityservice extends Service {

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Log.d("Service","I Am Security Service Created");
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDestroy();
    }
}

I got that Log message in onCreate() ..

but the problem is i got that message only once at the time of service created

i need to keep print the log Untill i destroyed the service

Service is an BackGround task which runs until you stop which contains its own life cycle.
Where as Thread is also a new task which runs until you stop or end of the code, which contains its own life cycle.

While creating the Service onCreate method will call only one time..
I think you have some confusion between Loop and Thread..

it is must to start a loop (for or while) to print that log continuously ..

or you can use this type of recursive method

 public void onCreate() {
 super.onCreate();
 doLog() 
 }

void doLog(){
  Log.d("Service","I Am Security Service Created");
doLog();
}
