I use a Bound Service which I bind to in activitys' onStart() and unbind from in onStop(). I bind using Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE, so that the service stops automatically when no activity is bound to it. It is a convenient way of letting more than one activity use the service and of passing data from activity to the service through an IBinder interface

When you using the device backbutton for navigate to previous class , then use write:

@Override
public void onBackPressed(){
 //stop your Service here
}

If you used custom back button for navigate to previous class, then maintain static boolean variable in second class.

Second class: static boolean navigate = false;
when you click the custom back button in second class, then  make boolean as true;

now, in first class check the value for true: 
if it is ture , then stop the service by using Context.stopService(serviceObject);

You can use Context.stopService(serviceObject); to stop service from an Activity.
