I didn't follow all that, but I think so :-)

Will START_STICKY keep my service running even if the phone is locked or

No, START_STICKY, I believe, asks the system to restart your Service if it
gets killed before it finished what it was doing.

Note Studio's advice, but be aware that there is nothing you can do to
guarantee your Service will always be running. Code with the assumption that
it will die at some point, because it probably will.

You may want to check out a foreground service if you need a high priority 
service like playing music, etc.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#startForeground%28int,%20android.app.Notification%29

This should make it a foreground application and help keep it from being 
destroyed for needed memory.

I have to create AIDL for methods from which I'll have access to the
service. If I have each player feature(play, next, previous) I'm
starting new service with startService(), when onBind() the object
that will be returned to be used to control the service will I still
have the access to the service whenever another call to startService
is made?
