That is a bad idea, since onDestroy() is not guaranteed to be called. > When i am stopping service(2nd time activity get started and service > running) I require latest value two integers from service. > > How can i get those values in activity from service without waiting > for service to stop? Option #1: Bind to the service, call some API method on the binder in onServiceConnected(), unbind from the service, then call stopService() in onServiceDisconnected() Option #2: Call startService() with some custom action string to indicate "please send me the data" along with a Messenger tied to your Handler, have the service send the data to the Handler via the Messenger, and call stopService() when the data arrives. Option #3: Consider the data the service is generating to be part of your data model and store it persistently, having the activity get the latest data from the persistent store. There are probably many more options, but those should get you started. > One more question, In myactivity, i have handler which implements > handlemessage(), is it possible to receive msg in it from service?
