This is not 100% correct. Make sure to call StopService before calling ExitApplication, other Android may restart the process.

Thanks Erel,
Now,
Is there a way to check if the service is off? So, I'll call StartService if needed
What happens if I StartService many times? (on Main)
Does the service starts many times? or, just don't start it because is already started

To check if the service is running

B4X:

if not(isPaused(Service_Name)) then
  DoSomeThing
else
  StartService(Service_Name)
end if

And if you call StartService many times, your service will restart (it will pass the Service_Create one time but many times Service_Start)
