Services will be occasionally killed in the background if they aren't set to be foreground. This is all normal behavior. You control what happens when they restart (if they restart at all) through what you return from onStartCommand(). It looks like you are not explicitly returning anything, and haven't set your target SDK version to be >= the 2.0 level, so you are getting the old behavior.
