bindService() doesn't start a second thread. If you unbind and the service is not needed, then the service's onDestroy() will be called and the next time you bind a new instance created.
If what you are trying to do is create a thread that can be used across activity instances, I would suggest not using a Service at all and just making the thread as a singleton.
