I'm assuming that the variable you change to true and false is for whether the service is currently running? If so, you could create a second variable in shared preferences called lastRunSuccessful. When you start your service you set it to false. When you finish your service you set it to true.
That way, if your service is killed you can check these values to determine the state of your service the next time you launch your app: running && !lastRunSuccessful = service was killed !running && lastRunSuccessful = service was not killed and was successful If my logic is right the other states should never happen... but you may want to check them and do something just in case. Hope that helps...
