alternative to finish() method for Service class? To kill it dead

问题

I have used the method finish() before in several activities without problems.

however when I tried to call it inside of the broadcast receiver I get the error message from the compiler that "the method finish() is undefined for the type AudioService"

AudioService is the name of my Service class in my Android app.

If there is no finish() method in a Service than what can I call to kill this Service dead?

回答1:

use this line:

this.stopSelf();

to kill itself.
Or from outside use stopService(intent);

回答2:

you can try as to stop your AudioService service from broadcast receiver :

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(context, AudioService.class); 
context.stopService(intent);

where context is first param which you received in on Receive of broadcast receiver
