Service is NOT running always even after I have used START_STICKY
<h2><strong>Issues</strong></h2>

<p>Service is NOT running always even after I have used START_STICKY. </p>

<p>Sometimes I dont get any Toast Action for Outgoing call, is that mean service stops after some time ?</p>

<h2><strong>My Requirment</strong></h2>

<p>Application shows a Toast whenever user makes a outgoing call from the phone. For this I am using a  BroadcastReceiver to tap the call action and a service (to run Receiver always). once I start this activity, it starts showing toast when a outgoing call get initiated ..but not Always.</p>

<p><strong>Below is the complete code -</strong></p>

<p>MainActivity.class</p>

<pre><code>public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
    CallNotifierService m_service;
    boolean isBound = false;

    private ServiceConnection m_serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() 
    {
        @Override
        public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) 
        {
            m_service = ((CallNotifierService.MyBinder)service).getService();
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Service Connected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            isBound = true;
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CallNotifierService.class);
            startService(intent);
        }

        @Override
        public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) 
        {
            m_service = null;
            isBound = false;
        }
    };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, CallNotifierService.class);
        bindService(intent, m_serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
    }
    .
    .
    .
}

<p><strong>CallNotifierService.class</strong></p>
