Answer 1

In Kotlin you can do this...

Service:

class MyService : Service() {
    init {
        instance = this
    }

    companion object {
        lateinit var instance: MyService

        fun terminateService() {
            instance.stopSelf()
        }
    }
}

In your activity (or anywhere in your app for that matter):

btn_terminate_service.setOnClickListener {
    MyService.terminateService()
}

Note: If you have any pending intents showing a notification in Android's status bar, you may want to terminate that as well.
