Stopping and starting a Service based on application state

Question

I have a Service which tracks the location of the user. Currently, the Service boots when the application starts and stops when the application terminates. Unfortunately,

Answer 1

Reading all the above answers I would suggest Simply add a boolean global flag for each activity & put it in your onResume & onPause & also while launching an Activity Something like this

public void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
activity1IsResumed = true;
}

&same for onResume

& similarly when launching a new Activity

startActivityForResult(myintent ,0);
activity2IsResumed = true;
activity1IsResumed = false;

then in your Service simply check

if(activity1IsResumed || activity2IsResumed || activity3IsResumed)
{
//your logic
}
else
{
//another logic
//or dont run location tracker
}

& you are done!
