i am calling service like this on button click.

final Intent pm_intent = new Intent(AccountsActivity.this , PmService.class);
pm_intent.putExtra("Key", "gtalk service*****");
pm_intent.putExtra("user_name", acc.getAcc_Name());
pm_intent.putExtra("user_pass", acc.getAcc_Pass());             
Thread t = new Thread(){
public void run(){
    startService(pm_intent);
    }
};
t.start();

i am stopping service like this on button click

final Intent gtalk_intent = new Intent(getActivity() , GtalkService.class);
Thread t = new Thread(){
    public void run(){
        getActivity().stopService(gtalk_intent);
    }
};
t.start();

You’re getting an ANR, so you’re doing some processor intensive work on your UI thread.

I see that you’re launching your Service in a new Thread. While this may look like the Service will start in a new Thread, it actually doesn’t. If you want to run the contents of the service in a new Thread, you must create the new Thread inside the Service, in onStartCommnand() or onCreate(). Try doing that.
