Android service not restarting in lollipop

Question

In my application, I use location based service in background. So I need to restart my service when it gets destroyed.

But I got this message in logcat

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import activity.MainActivity;
import activity.R;
import fragment.MainFragment;

public class MyService extends Service {
    public static final int NOTIFICATION_CODE = 1;


    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();


    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        startForeground(NOTIFICATION_CODE, getNotification());
        return START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        stopForeground(true);
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean stopService(Intent name) {
        return super.stopService(name);
    }


    /**
     * Create and return a simple notification.
     */
    private Notification getNotification() {    
        Notification notification;
        NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
        builder.setColor(getResources()
                        .getColor(R.color.material_deep_teal_500))
                .setAutoCancel(true);

        notification = builder.build();
        notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

        return notification;
    }


}

You can modify this code to accomodate your needs but this is the basic structure to start foreground service. Which restarts if gets killed.
