Answer 1

If you are tracking GPS location, you probably used GoogleApiClient.

The concept is that the Service WILL NOT stop,

if an GoogleApiClient instance is still connected within it.

(Or any other issue that need to be destroyed / unregistered first)

So to make it works, implement onDestroy() within your service:

@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
    // Unregistered or disconnect what you need to
    // For example: mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
    super.onDestroy();
}
