I'm using an IntentService to upload images to a server. My problem is that I don't know how/when to stop the service. When I call stopself() in onHandleIntent(Intent ..) all Intents which are waiting in the IntentService queue are removed. But I don't want to stop the service from an activity because I want to complete upload proccess even if my application is not running.

To stop a IntentService, call the method stopService (Intent service). It request that a given application service be stopped. If the service is not running, nothing happens. Otherwise it is stopped.
IntentService runs on its own thread. It will stop itself when it's done.
IntentService is an extension of the Service component class that handles asynchronous requests (expressed as Intent s) on demand. Clients send requests through Context.
You stop a service via the stopService() method. No matter how frequently you called the startService(intent) method, one call to the stopService() method stops the service. A service can terminate itself by calling the stopSelf() method.
My problem is that I don't know how/when to stop the service.
IntentService automatically stops itself when onHandleIntent() ends, if no more commands had been sent to it while onHandleIntent() was running. Hence, you do not manually stop an IntentService yourself.
When I call stopself() in onHandleIntent(Intent ..) all Intents which are waiting in the IntentService queue are removed.
Which is why you do not do that.
But I don't want to stop the service from an activity because I want to complete upload proccess even if my application is not running.
Then you let the IntentService stop itself.
