How to stop Android Service started with a custom intent

I built a class called MService extend Service in Android Studio , I started the service like this: - inside onClick associated with a button-

Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MService.class);
serviceIntent.putExtra("ID", "1"); 
startService(serviceIntent);

The Service onStartCommand method lunched and worked pretty good..

The problem is I don't know how to end the Service when a Button clicked, I tried to do this:

stopService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MService.class));

inside a onClick method , the onDestroy lunched, but the Service still running How can I stop it?

If onDestroy() of your service was called, then afterwards, the service is not running. Your code might still be running.

If you start things in a service, such as a background thread, it is your job to stop them and clean that up, typically in your onDestroy() method.
