If I have a simple service that returns START_NOT_STICKY in onStartCommand
and I both start it explicitly (startService) and bind to it (bindService)
in onCreate of my activity the service gets recreated after it has been
killed over and over again. I unbind the service in onPause of my activity.
Logcat shows that the service is scheduled for restart and is restarted
over and over again. The service is not shown as running after it's been
recreated in Settings -> Apps -> Running.

I thought START_NOT_STICKY meant that once it gets killed by Android it
wont be restarted unless I explicitly start it again. Or does binding to a
service override that and make the service sticky?
I've been testing this on a Galaxy Nexus with stock Android 4.1.1.
