Android Wearable Message Api send message onDestroy()

I have a watch face running on wear and I would like to send a message to my companion app when the watch face is changed. I looked at the docs and found onDestroy or onSurfaceDestroyed to be appropriate methods of WallpaperService.Engine

However, the watch face is destroyed before the message is sent.

The goal is to detect when the user stops using my watch face.

Thank you!

Can't you start an [Intent]Service to handle that in the background? – Ali Naddaf Dec 10 '15 at 00:50
I haven't tried, but i will give it a try. Thanks! – xsorifc28 Dec 10 '15 at 01:03
Starting a service right before `super.onDestroy()` didn't seem to work. – xsorifc28 Dec 10 '15 at 22:39
Nevermind, I forgot to call a method! Starting a service works fine. It would have been simpler if there was a way to detect when the watch was on the "watch face selection" screen. – xsorifc28 Dec 10 '15 at 23:29
