Service finish depends on how Service is started and what does it do.

If a Service is a bound service, that is started via bindService(), then after all users of the service have called unbindService(), then the service is stopped.

Also, inside the service the value returned from onStartCommand() can determine if service would be restored by system if terminated or not.

Finally, a service an explicitly call stopSelf() to shutdown itself.

Services run independently of the place where you start them. So

  1. No a service won't stop just because the starting activity finishes
  2. An activity is as good a place to start a service as any place that has a android.content.Context.
