This is pointless to use SharedPreferences this way.. You can call startService multiple times. There is only one Service instance ever started. Also you mentioned at the beginning that this is an IntentService. The behavior of an IntentService is that it stops itself when there are not more Itents waiting to be processed. So the Serivice is not being killed. It is exiting as designed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
