I am using a Location listener service to update the current location of the user for every few secs. I have also used a WakeLock to make the listener work in the background. Now everything is working fine but i am unable to stop the Location listener. Even if the app is force closed the listener is updating the user location to the DB.
Location Listener:

Log.e(TAG, "onCreate");
initializeLocationManager();
PowerManager mgr = (PowerManager)context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
wakeLock= mgr.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "MyWakeLock");
wakeLock.acquire();

Starting the service intent:(from mainactivity)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context , MyLocationService.class);
context.startService(serviceIntent );
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
checkLocationPermission();
}
if (!isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) {
finish();
} else {
Log.d("onCreate", "Google Play Services available.");
}
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
Stopping the intent:(from mainactivity)
private class LogOutTimerTask extends TimerTask
{
@Override
public void run()
{
Intent i = new Intent(MapsActivity.this, Login.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(i);
Intent intent = new Intent(MapsActivity.this, MyLocationService.class);
stopService(intent);
finish();
}
}
The stop intent is called when the user logout, now the onDestroy() method in the service class is getting called but its is not stopping the process. When the application is force closed the onDestroy() is not even called. In both the cases the process resumes and keep updating the values to DB.Thanks in advance.
