The problem with bind/unbind - is that when the activity finishes the
service gets stopped.
I want the service to be around - even if the mainactivity is killed.
in the Activity.onCreate() i do
Intent requestIntent = new Intent(this, MainService.class);
startService(requestIntent);
The problem is that with the above - even if the service is active - it's
onStartCommand()
gets called again.
Should I just check a variable (i.e. onStartCommand() being call not the
first) - i just return.
I want the method to be executed just once per service life.
