UPDATE I have an Activity where I am starting a service which is running successfully. I am trying to keep bluetooth connectivity in the service. Bluetooth connectivity is running successfully through service when the application is active. But when I close the application I service is also getting killed and the bluetooth connectivity is lost. Below is my Activity code.

@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (bluetoothService == null) {
kolamDeviceDialog();
} else {
Log.e("MenuBluetoothService",bluetoothService.getStatus()+"");
if (!bluetoothService.getStatus()) {
kolamDeviceDialog();
}
}
}
private void kolamDeviceDialog() {
MaterialDialog.Builder builder = new MaterialDialog.Builder(MenuActivity.this)
.title("Select Bot")
.items(scanTypes)
.itemsCallback(new MaterialDialog.ListCallback() {
@Override
public void onSelection(MaterialDialog dialog, View itemView, int position, CharSequence text) {
if (position == 0) {
KolamDevice kolamDevice = new KolamDevice();
Intent intent = new Intent(MenuActivity.this, BluetoothService.class);
intent.putExtra("Address", kolamDevice.getBigBotAddress());
intent.putExtra("Name", kolamDevice.getBigBotName());
startService(intent);
bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
} else {
KolamDevice kolamDevice = new KolamDevice();
Intent intent = new Intent(MenuActivity.this, BluetoothService.class);
intent.putExtra("Address", kolamDevice.getSmallBotAddress());
intent.putExtra("Name", kolamDevice.getSmallBotName());
startService(intent);
bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
}
});
builder.show();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
// unbindService(mConnection);
}
private ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className,
IBinder binder) {
BluetoothService.MyBinder b = (BluetoothService.MyBinder) binder;
bluetoothService = b.getService();
Toast.makeText(MenuActivity.this, "Connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {
bluetoothService = null;
}
};
This is my Manifest file.

</application>
At last this is my Service class.
public class BluetoothService extends Service {
private final IBinder mBinder = new MyBinder();
private SmoothBluetooth smoothBluetooth;
private static Device device;
private boolean isConnected = false;
String address, name;
private List<Integer> mBuffer = new ArrayList<>();
private List<String> mResponseBuffer = new ArrayList<>();
public BluetoothService() {
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.e("BluetoothService", "Started");
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
address = extras.getString("Address");
name = extras.getString("Name");
}
smoothBluetooth = new SmoothBluetooth(this);
smoothBluetooth.setListener(mListener);
if (smoothBluetooth.isBluetoothEnabled()) {
if (!smoothBluetooth.isConnected()) {
device = new Device(name, address, true);
smoothBluetooth.tryConnection();
}
}
return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return mBinder;
}
public class MyBinder extends Binder {
BluetoothService getService() {
return BluetoothService.this;
}
}
public boolean getStatus() {
return isConnected;
}
This is the Receiver where I explicitly call the startService().
public class MyStartServiceReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent service = new Intent(context, BluetoothService.class);
context.startService(service);
}
}
Please tell me whats wrong in my code.
