Answer 1

Based from this documentation, you encountered an error because the object you are calling has died since its hosting process no longer exists. Also, as stated in this thread, it usually happens when the go side has crashed. Often the useful error log (if any) is before the android.os.DeadObjectException.

This SO post might help you:

Override your service's onDestroy() method and watch what event flow leads to it. If you catch DeadObjectException without going through this method, your service should have been killed by the OS.
