You're thinking about this the wrong way. In the Android framework, things don't just die, "stopping a service" does not mean sending it a SIGKILL.
Instead, I would suspect that you should create an onStop in your service, and stop your processing there. However if you're doing some long running tasks this should probably be happening in a task or some background thread within your service anyway... Right, and how are you killing your service, you should be doing a "stopService" if you are using the service in this manner (versus binding..) Then in onStop you should have some way to "stop whatever is happening..." You might also want to reread the Service lifecycle documentation, to make sure you're understanding how things are being executed: if you're doing long running things in the service's onStartCommand, this is probably not good. Your onStartCommand should be the thing that starts doing stuff and coordinates what happens based on incoming intents. So, where in your service are you doing the work?
