I have a bounded service S (seperate process) which gets started when the boot is complete. I have an application A which binds to the service when the application is launched.
Now my question is when I force stop the application in settings the service S which is in different process also gets destroyed.
Ideally only the application process should have been killed but the service should have kept running. Why is the service S getting killed even if it is in different process.

    Bound services always stop when the Activity that called bindService() is destroyed. In order to prevent this from happening you must do the following:

    1. Make your service stick by returning START_STICKY from the onStartCommand() method within your service.
    2. You must call startService() before calling bindService() from your Activity.
