I use following from inside an activity:

private boolean isMyServiceRunning() {
    ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
        if (MyService.class.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

BindService returns false if you don't have success in bind to the service:

Returns

If you have successfully bound to the service, true is returned; false is returned if the connection is not made so you will not receive the service object.

I would use that to check if the service is not running.

Just be sure to not bind with AUTO_CREATE flag, or the service will be created as well.
