How to stop a system service?

I want to know how to stop a system service using my app in android, I'm not talking here about stopping a Service Class that exists inside my app, I'm taking about stopping a System Service like (Bluetooth, Mailing, Alarm, WiFi, .....etc) I tried to make it like the following but nothing stopped:

    stopService(new Intent(Service.BLUETOOTH_SERVICE));

with root shell,

adb shell am stop-service your-service

To disable the service permanently, you should remount and change the system files to modify related .rc file.

In the UI of your app, you ask the user to completely power down their phone. If your app is a system app (i.e., installed on the /system partition, such as a pre-installed app), you may be able to power down the device yourself.

What developers perceive as a "system service" is merely an API to a core OS process. SDK developers do not have control over those processes.
