Services can't run 24 hours a day. At some point the system will very likely need to kill your process to have memory for elsewhere, and you will go away without a call to onDestroy(). Later the system will restart the process and service.
You just need to deal with this. As far as not restarting the service -- it definitely should. What version of the platform are you seeing this on? What is in the log when it gets killed? What is the output of "adb shell dumpsys activity.services" before and after this happens? Note you can emulate the system killing the process simply by doing it yourself with "ps".
