正确退出activity_即使关闭Activity，也要保持Android服务运行

I am building one of those SOS apps. Whenever the device is shaken above a threshold value (detected through accelerometer), I am showing a Toast (as of now)

1) App is launched. User gives name, email, etc.. and clicks finish on last screen.

2) Service is started which keeps listening for shake.

3) It detects the shake correctly if the App is running.

4) If I close the app (the activity), the service gets killed along with it.

How do I keep the service running even if app is closed, so that it can listen to shakes from background? (That's the whole purpose of this app)

[1.I am returning START_STICKY in onStartCommand

I also tried using a BroadcasterReciever which will restart service by receiving broadcast from onTaskRemoved

I am testing on ASUS Xenfone Max, Marshmallow OS

You have two options:

Start your service as foreground service (with startForeground(int id, Notification notification): docs. But in this case you will have to show Notification in notification tray for as long as your service is running

Use separate process for your service adding in manifest to your process android:process=":nameofyourprocess"
