How to cancel a foreground service from using the notification (swipe dismiss) or clear all notifications?

Question

I'm currently creating a foreground service with a notification that appears in the notification bar when the service starts. If the service stops, the notification dismisses. My question is, is there a way to stop the service when "clear all notifications" or a dismiss of the notification (swipe) occurs?

Updated to include implementation of notification:

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {        Log.d(CLASS, "onStartCommand service started.");      if (getString(R.string.service_start_action) == intent.getAction())     {         Intent intentForeground = new Intent(this, ServiceMain.class)             .setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);             PendingIntent pendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intentForeground, 0);               Notification notification;         Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext())             .setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.btn_star)             .setTicker("Service started...")             .setContentIntent(pendIntent)             .setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)             .setOnlyAlertOnce(true)             .setOngoing(false);         notification = builder.build();         notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE;          startForeground(SERV_NOTIFY, notification);         player.start();     }     else     {         Log.d(CLASS, "onStartCommand unable to identify acition.");     }      return START_STICKY;         }

The user is not allowed to swipe away a notification generated by an ongoing foreground service.

Hence, stopForeground(false) first, which allows the notification to be swiped away by the user thereafter (at least on Lollipop+). For pre-Lollipop, you may have to stopForeground(true), which stops foreground and removes the notification, then re-issue the notification with notificationManager.notify(yourNotificationID, yourNotificationObject), so that your notification is visible but swipeable.

Crucially, set up the notification object with a delete intent that is triggered when the user swipes it away.

(new NotificationCompat.builder(this).setDeleteIntent(deletePendingIntent)).build() 

where deletePendingIntent is something like

Intent deleteIntent = new Intent(this, YourService.class); deleteIntent.putExtra(someKey, someIntValue); PendingIntent deletePendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, someIntValue,  deleteIntent,  PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT); 

When the user swipes it away, the intent with its extra is delivered to the service. Handle the delivered extra within onStartCommand, i.e. check that intent != null, intent.getExtras() != null, then extract the value from the extras bundle given someKey, and if it matches someIntValue, then call stopSelf().
