There\'s also a notification which shows a progress bar with the progress of the backg

Answer 1

@See public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent). This is called if the service is currently running and the user has removed a task that comes from the service's application. If you have set ServiceInfo.FLAG_STOP_WITH_TASK flag then you will not receive this callback; instead, the service will simply be stopped.

You can remove all notifications that your app has created with cancelAll():

NotificationManager nManager = ((NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE));
nManager.cancelAll();

According to the API docs, this will

Cancel all previously shown notifications.

in the same way that cancel(int id) does:

Cancel a previously shown notification. If it's transient, the view will be hidden. If it's persistent, it will be removed from the status bar.
