Service doesnot stop after activity destroy

I have written a service with timer to do something periodically but when I stop service service from mainActivity if my service is in middle of their task it's continue to finish and after that stop it and the same issue when i want to close application that call OnDestroy on Main Activity service work and after finish their task don't start again. My Question is how can Force stop service when i want to exit from my app? this is my service code

public class MyTimerService extends Service{

private static int counter = 0;

private Timer timer = new Timer();
private int INTERVAL;

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent i) {
    return null;
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    INTERVAL = intent.getIntExtra("time", 500);
    repaet();

    return START_NOT_STICKY;
}

private void repaet() {
    timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            Log.i("Saeed", String.valueOf(++counter));
        }
    }, 0, INTERVAL);
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    Toast.makeText(this, "Stop Service", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    if(timer!=null){
        timer.cancel();
    }       
    stopSelf();
    super.onDestroy();
}

    }

Have you tried to manually stop your service inside onDestroy() by using this stopService()?
