Can not close the service when close the background

I write this code in the onDestroy() method. 

@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
MessageService.this.stopSelf();
messageThread.isRunning = false;
System.exit(0);
super.onDestroy();
}

And close the service in other Activity.

stopService(new Intent(MainOptionActivity.this,MessageService.class));

I tried many code, it can not close the service when close the background. Could anyone give me some advice? Thanks.

Here is a simple code for service class

public class MyService extends Service {

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {

    return null;
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "MSG onCreate SERVICE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    super.onCreate();
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "MSG onStartCommand SERVICE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "MSG STOP SERVICE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    super.onDestroy();
}

}

and here is the code for testing this service 

 startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));

    new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            startService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class));
        }
    }, 5000);

    new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            stopService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class));
        }
    }, 10000);

this is working just fine. Also add this code in manifest

<service android:name=".MyService" />

Don't use System.exit(0) on Android, instead use finish (in Activity for example).

But there is no need to stop itself onDestroy method, it is actually gonna be stopped and destroyed (that's what onDestroy method is for).

You stop the execution of the method with System.exit(0); and therefore system never reaches super.onDestroy(); point and service is not destroyed.

Try just

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    messageThread.isRunning = false;
    super.onDestroy();
}
