Here's another idea for an indirect approach. Going through the onPause/onStop/onStart/onResume procession should take only so long; fractions of a second. What you could try is to detect when the Activity is unbound and bound again within the Service itself (override Service.onUnbind()) . You can use a timer in the overriden onUnbind() that runs for that fraction of a second (plus change), and when the timer triggers, check if the Activity has been bound again. If not, stop the player. I find this an elegant solution in that control remains with the service itself. You also have a platform to track multiple activities being bound (you may need this as you develop your UI), and you would consider stop playing only after the last activity was unbound. The downside - it'll introduce a slight delay when the activity is closed for good, but it should be barely noticeable.
