I am doing similar stuff and I hold on to the Partial WakeLock inside the onCreate method and release it onDestroy. When I tried to hold the wakelock anywhere outside onCreate my service died out. Also I have made my servive a foreground service. Everything works fine now. Are you doing similar stuff?
The only problem I encounter now is that my app is having some conflict with google's car home app (GPS navigation).
