title: Android: Service stops when Activity is closed
body: <p>If I understand it correctly, 
  bindService() with BIND_AUTO_CREATE will start a service and will not die until all bindings are all unbinded.</p>
  
  <p>But if I bindService(BIND_AUTO_CREATE) at onCreate() and hit back button to close the 
  activity, the service calls onDestroy() and dies also.</p>
  
  <p>I don't call unbind() at anytime.
  So is that mean when the Activity got destroyed, the binding got destroyed also and the service gets destroyed also?</p>
  
  <p>What if I want the service to be always running, at the same time when the activity starts
  I want to bind it so that I can access the service?</p>
  
  <p>If I call StartService() and then bindService() at onCreate(), it will restart the service at every launch of Activity. (Which I don't want).</p>
  
  <p>So I could I start service once and then bind next time I launch the activity?</p>
