You've written in comment: "i want to start the service when the application closed by the server side data recieved in the application"

In this case why do not you use AlarmManager like this (it's a Kotlin):

private fun startServiceAndExit() {
    val startService = Intent(appContext, YourService::class.java)
    val pendingIntentId = 123456
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(
        appContext, 
        pendingIntentId, 
        intent, 
        0);  

    val mgr = appContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE) as AlarmManager
    mgr.set(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() + 100, pendingIntent)
    System.exit(0)
}

Use a BroadcastReceiver. Let it start your Service.
