STOP: 1. You call StopService. 2. The OS stops non-foreground services after about a minute when the app is in the background. KILL PROCESS: 1. App is in the background and the OS decides that the app should no longer run. It can happen after a minute or after 10 hours. Depends on many factors.

Put the StopService in the Activty_Pause event sub of your app. And then restart the service in the Activity_Resume sub
link: I know, but if the user closes the app directly, where do you put this line? My code never executes it. StopService(Tracker) 'stops tracker service
link: Ok, this is a little challenging because we are using a foreground service specifically to keep the tracking service running even if the app is pushed
link: 1) Call the below line of code when the user exits the app: StopService(Tracker) 'stops tracker service 2) As a backup to make sure the GPS service

Ok, understand how it works. StopService(Starter) stop the service but not in a way it is started again when you restart the App (maybe after some time but not immediately). Need to do some modifications. Thanks

Neither. This app is intended to always run so it is never stopped. Call StopService(<service name which I don't remember>) if you want to stop it. BTW, it is already running for 5 days here without any interruption.

link: I believe that is the right thing. If the service that handles the notifications stops, the rest of services will do it automatically, which would be

Please, no need to fight. This is a valid question and there is no doubt that the documentation should be updated. I've fixed it for the next update. In the first versions of B4A the various keywords that accept an activity or module parameter only worked with strings: StartActivity("Activity2")

Try reversing the two statments to this order: CancelScheduledService(Me) StopService(Me) Because the Stopservice line might be immediately killing the service on that line and never running the next line of "cancelscheduledservices", so the Last startserviceat time you set will still be executed

Yes. It will be running until Android kills the process. You can call StopService (Starter) if you like to manually stop it.

link: The Starter service is identified by its name. You can add a new service named Starter to an existing project and it will be the program entry point.

Hello, You have several options depending how you want it to be : - if only closing an Activity : Activity.Finish - if closing ALL the whole app, be sure to previously stop any service, timer, background task and than ExitApplication (if you don't stop anything, the System would produce some errors)
