I have a service which runs in the background when the user starts using my app. I am using it to do some posts to our server. I always close my service by calling stopSelf as soon as the posts have been made or failed.
But I recently observed two times that my service did not stop. I saw that in the running services in settings on my device that it has been sitting there for over a few hours. So I was trying to see if I can alternatively set a timer using which I can force the service to stop after a few minutes no matter what. Does any one have any thoughts on how to do this?
