Stop service on Android

I can't stop my service with stopService(). I have tryed everything but it doesn't work. I stop my service only when I uninstall app. 

public class Refresh extends Service {

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "NESTO!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Your location is: "+MyLocation(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return START_NOT_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
         Intent myService = new Intent(this, Refresh.class);
         PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,myService, 0);
         AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
         alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,System.currentTimeMillis(), 20* 1000, pendingIntent);
        super.onCreate();
    }
    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDestroy();
    }

      public LatLng MyLocation(){
            LocationManager locationManager=(LocationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
            Location location=locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
            return new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
        }

}

And this is methods in main activity:

 public void startService(){
            startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), Refresh.class));
        }
        public void stopService(){
            stopService(new Intent(getBaseContext(),Refresh.class));    
        }

And this is how I call methods start and stop service:

public void onClick(View V){
    stopService();
    }

Alarm can restart the service. You should cancel it.

You have to cancel your AlarmManager, so service will not restart every 20sec. After that you can use stopService() just please insert what service you want to stop.

Create a intent...

Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), Refresh .class);

When you want to start the service:

startService(intent);

When you want to stop the service:

stopService(intent);

and again, cancel your AlarmManager :) do it before you call stopService();

   alarm.cancel(pendingIntent);

I think the alarm manager you are using to start the service is restarting the service for you,You have to stop that alarm,Stop the alarm like this

 Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourService.class);
     PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 1253, intent, 0);
     AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
     alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);

pass the SAME ID FOR THE PENDING INTENT which you used while creating the pending intent

You kill the service, but the alarm is still set, you have to cancel the pending intent from the alarm manager in onDestroy
