I am not for sure, but I think your activity has to bind to the service, or your service needs to listen to a broadcast and your activity would need to broadcast an intent that your service listens for, to shut down.
Curious, why do you play the music in a service? Why not in a separate thread of the game? I am trying to learn game programming myself, and thought that the process of playing music + sound FX all occur within the game loop.. that you would some how every iteration update a sound/music pointer for example and continue playing. I suppose if you have the same music playing over and over.. but I'd rather have music that changes based on the game play.. like speeds up in a fight, or changes pitch, or what have you to provide a bit more dynamic music with the game.
