i have a service that's running in the background, is there any way
(short of keeping a count of onBind() and onUnbind()) to know the
number of activities that are bound to it?

I am trying to provide a "quit" function.  all my activities derive
from the same base class.  I am keeping a global static around that
says the "quit" button was pressed.  then on each of the activities
onResume() method, I look for the global static "quit" variable and if
it's set to true, I call "finish()" so my activity shuts down, and
then next activity on the task stack appears -- which goes through the
same process of checking the global static "quit" variable until it
gets to the root activity -- which effectively goes back to the main
desktop screen.

However, I need a way to reset the global static "quit" variable,
otherwise, when I launch the app again, it will check the global
static quit variable and shutdown immediately - never coming back up.
So, I want to know if there are any activities bound to my service, if
not, I would set the global static "quit" variable back to false so
that the app could be relaunched again.

tia.

p.s. I know the general philosophy about not having a quit button, but
I think in this case it's justified.
