Answer 1

I faced same problem. I will tell you my solution. I overrided onStop, onStart each activity and counted my started activity with some delay and count reaches zero, I paused music.

Answer 2

how is it about un/register as a listener @ the service in onStart() and onStop() method of your activities and every time a listener is (un)registered your service checks if it's got some listeners left in its ArrayList<Listener>. if the listOfListeners.size() is 0 then your service calls its stopSelf() method and kills itself.

at least that's how I would implement this...

so, the things you would need are:

• 2 Interfaces (Observer, Observable)

• implement Observer in Activity, Observable in Service

• ArrayList<Observer> in Service

• registerObserver(Observer o) and unregisterObserver(Observer o) in Service

but that's just my point of view...

Answer 3

Why don't you just make a button to stop the music its so much easier and you don't have to force close everytime

Button exit =(Button) findViewById(R.id.exit);

    exit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v)
            {
                // TODO: Implement this method

                startActivity(new Intent("com.justme.worldexplorer.EXIT"));             
                finish();
                Music I'd.stop();}});}

There you go and so the key hardware button back dosent leave if you press by accident

public boolean onKeyDown(int KeyCode,KeyEvent event){


    return false;
}

And that's it set it up in the manifest and run if any problems let me know
