Why I get error at my service in Angular 6?

I have a service:

import { EventEmitter, Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class PingOnActionListenerService {
    removingListener = new EventEmitter();

    removeListener(): void {
        this.removingListener.emit();
    }

At component A I call the service:

this._pingOnActionListenerService.removeListener();

At component B I want to listen to the service:

    ngOnInit() {
        this._pingOnActionListenerService.removingListener.subscribe(this.deactivatelistener());
    }

    deactivatelistener() {
        window.removeEventListener('click', this.pingIfLastPingIsOld);
    }

When I run this code, I get at the console the error message:

core.js:1671 ERROR TypeError: generatorOrNext is not a function at SafeSubscriber.schedulerFn [as _next] (core.js:3565) at SafeSubscriber.push../node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/internal/Subscriber.js.SafeSubscriber.__tryOrUnsub (Subscriber.js:195) at SafeSubscriber.push../node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/internal/Subscriber.js.SafeSubscriber.next (Subscriber.js:133) at Subscriber.push../node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/internal/Subscriber.js.Subscriber._next (Subscriber.js:77) at Subscriber.push../node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/internal/Subscriber.js.Subscriber.next (Subscriber.js:54) at EventEmitter.push../node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/internal/Subject.js.Subject.next (Subject.js:47) at EventEmitter.push../node_modules/@angular/core/fesm5/core.js.EventEmitter.emit (core.js:3537) at PingOnActionListenerService.push../src/app/core/services/ping-on-action/ping-on-action-listener.service.ts.PingOnActionListenerService.removeListener (ping-on-action-listener.service.ts:19) at CatchSubscriber.selector (logging-interceptor.ts:45) at CatchSubscriber.push../node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/internal/operators/catchError.js.CatchSubscriber.error (catchError.js:33)

While not directly relevant to the OP's question, I'm posting this in case it helps others.

The error generatorOrNext is not a function, can be caused by doing something similar to the below, where there is no callback passed to .subscribe().

this.subject.valueChanges.subscribe(
    // (newVal) => console.log(newVal)
);

You should not use EventEmitter in Service, that is supposed to be used for component bindings and @Output() only. You should redesign that as Subject/Observable:

export class PingOnActionListenerService {
  _removingListener = new BehaviorSubject<boolean>(false);

  removeListener(): void {
    this._removingListener.next(true);
  }

  get removeListener$(): Observable<boolean> {
    return this._removingListener.asObservable()
      .pipe(filter(val => val));
  }
}

And in component B use:

ngOnInit() {
  this._pingOnActionListenerService.removeListener$
   .subscribe(() => {
     this.deactivatelistener();
   });
}

Don't forget to unsubscribe in component ngOnDestroy.
