Service stops by install other applications

Question

I develop a mobile device manager with a service in it. I've got a strange problem under Android 4.0.3, if I install another application, my service stops.

I got no errors, I just see it when I want to open my application again. I do some searches before, but found nothing about that.

Does anyone know where does it come form, or maybe got the same problem?

then only solution is to restart your Service when any new app is installed by user — ρяσѕρєя K, Aug 16 '12 at 07:20
I tested it with a galaxy tab 2 and a defy+, defy makes no problems. I will try it on other ics devices and post it soon — Boe-Dev, Aug 16 '12 at 07:23

I found a solution to fix it for my case.

I start my Service with

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
            //some code
    return START_STICKY;
}

The Service still crashs but this allows it to start again.
