Service crashing and restarting

Question

There are several questions about it but I always read the same thing: \"the service will be killed if the system need resources\" or \"you can\'t build an service that runs

Answer 1

From another SO answer (Link), this is the expected behavior. But surely, someone here will have a workaround or a solution.

Your questions from code:

pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent("anyany"); 0) //Why those zeros?

The first zero you see is mentioned as a requesCode and decribed as not being used presently:

requestCode: Private request code for the sender (currently not used).

The second zero should actually be one of the flags given (here).

i = intent.getIntExtra("INTENT1", 0) // I don't understant yet why this zero are here

The getIntExtra(String, int) method of Intent doesn't need to have 0 as its second argument: it can be any integer. getIntExtra(String, int) returns an integer corresponding to the String key you provide. In the event that this key no long exists(or never did), getIntExtra(String, int) returns the integer we pass as the second argument. It is the default value when the key fails.
