Question

I have two few questions regarding a service notification in android:

1. How to cancel the service if I chose to restart my device ?

2. How to keep the service running if I shut down my device and power it up again ?

Answer 1

You simple have to call the bootcompiled at the manifest file to recreate the service.

See below code:

<!-- To receive the Alarm Notification -->

    <receiver android:name=".RecreateTwoMonthAlarm" >         
        <intent-filter>             
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> 
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />         
        </intent-filter>     
    </receiver> 

Now if you dont want to re create the service when the device get restarted then simple define the receiver in manifest without any BOOT_COMPLETED action.

as like below code:

    <receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiverNotificationForTwoMonth" />

This is for receiver in My case. If you want the same thing for service then also you can do it.

hope it will help you.
