Implement onTaskRemoved() in your service.

 @Override
public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) {
    Log.e("Service", "On task removed");
    Intent restartService = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), this.getClass());
    restartService.setPackage(getPackageName());
    PendingIntent restartServicePI = PendingIntent.getService(
            this, 1, restartService,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
    AlarmManager alarmService = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
    alarmService.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000, restartServicePI);
}
