My service works exactly the way i want as long as i use start and
stop
and communicate using intents.

However my activity needs to change the state of my service as well as
retrieving
state information.

So i thought it would be nice to broadcast some kind of state_changed
event from
my service and use a binder interface to pull information from the
service or change
the services state based on user input.

This works fine too.
The only problem is that my service gets killed when i unbind it just
as the documentation says.

Is there any way to keep the service alive but still get an interface
to control it directly.
My activity offers the user a way to stop the service and the service
kills itself anyway
after it's work is done but i don't want the service to stop every
time the activity is destroyed.

Thanks in advance
Michael
