I’ve got a running service. But when taskmanager kill the Activivty that starts the service the service get killed to.
Why do my service get killed when the taskmanager kill the activity not the service?

Complementing CommonsWare: if the only reason for your Service to exist was that it was bound to the activity, when that activity is killed there is no longer a reason for the service to exist, hence it could be killed.
(I thinking in bound services in here! http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/services.html)
Update
Based on your comment, I see that you are using a “Started” service. In that case I recommend you to implemente the service in a separate class, not as an inner class within the Activity class. This could be what was causing your problem.
