The starter service should never be explicitly started. Move the StartAtBoot to a different service.

Currently I have #AutoStart on my starter service, and then call StartActivity(Main) from Starter. Reading the other threads I realize this is wrong and I completely missed the point of the Starter service. As I now understand it, whenever you call StartActivity(Main) or any other Activity, Starter will be run first?

Remove it from the starter. Add it to another service.

Thanks guys. I changed accordingly, this solved a random bug I was getting with terminating my app. In addition I now understand the use of starter.
