Stop Android service when app is closed with the task manager

Question

I am working on an app with a foreground service that plays audio for an extended period of time.

I do not want the Android OS to kill my service while it\'s runni

Answer 1

I think that you can call stopSelf() from onTaskRemoved(). There's also a severely underdocumented android:stopWithTask you apparently can have on the <service> element to automatically stop the service when the task is stopped from the recent-tasks list.

Note that I haven't tried either of these, so YMMV.
