Hey I ran into this problem a while back and was pulling my hair out. The fix is easy (and you're on the right track)
You can still call bindService, you just have to call startService first. If the service is started via bindService, then it will live and die with the activity that called it, but if you start it with startService and THEN bind it with bindService, it should stay alive indefinitely.
