If your function is expecting to return a boolean, just do this:

1. Import:

import { of, Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { map, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

2. Then

checkLogin(): Observable {
  return this.service.getData()
    .pipe(
      map(response => {
        this.data = response;
        this.checkservice = true;
        return true;
      }),
      catchError(error => {
        this.router.navigate(['newpage']);
        console.log(error);
        return of(false);
      })
)}
