Exceptions
Remarks
Request that a given application service be stopped. If the service is not running, nothing happens. Otherwise it is stopped. Note that calls to startService() are not counted -- this stops the service no matter how many times it was started.
If the service is running as a foreground service when it is stopped, its associated notification will be removed. To avoid this, apps can use android.app.Service#stopForeground(int) stopForeground(STOP_FOREGROUND_DETACH) to decouple the notification from the service's lifecycle before stopping it.
Note that if a stopped service still has ServiceConnection objects bound to it with the #BIND_AUTO_CREATE set, it will not be destroyed until all of these bindings are removed. See the android.app.Service documentation for more details on a service's lifecycle.
This function will throw SecurityException if you do not have permission to stop the given service.
