Stop service inside Service using onClickListener

I have a simple service. My problem is that stopSelf() does not work.

Here is my code:

   public class MyService extends Service {

    WindowManager.LayoutParams params;
    LayoutInflater li;

                @Override
                public void onCreate() {

                    super.onCreate();

        li = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                    700,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE, 
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_HARDWARE_ACCELERATED | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE,
                    PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

            final WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);

      final View view = li.inflate(R.layout.serviceeee, null); 

         ImageView imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

             imageView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {

                    MyService.this.stopSelf();// doesnt work...
                }
            });
        }

A service must be stopped itself by calling stopSelf() method, once it is finishes execution. However, you can also stop a service yourself by calling stopService() method.

stopService(new Intent(YourActivity.this, MyService.class));

For stopself():

It should be called when automatically by self, like service is going to finish the work then it's called something like below, which will use this method after some time.

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

        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {


                //Your logic that service will perform will be placed here
                //In this example we are just looping and waits for 1000 milliseconds in each loop.
                for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                    }

                    if(isRunning){
                        Log.i(TAG, "Service running");
                    }
                }

                //Stop service once it finishes its task
                stopSelf();
            }
        }).start();

        return Service.START_STICKY;
    }
