I have an IntentService that is started from an Activity and I would like to be able to stop the service immediately from the activity with a \"cancel\" button in the activi

Answer 1

@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
    String action = intent.getAction();
    if (action.equals(Action_CANCEL)) {
        stopSelf();
    } else if (action.equals(Action_START)) {
        //handle
