Hmmm... I read more about startForeground, and it seems that this just sets a flag on a notification object, rather than actually taking some action. So on a whim, I reversed the sequence so that now startForeground precedes NotificationManager.notify. So far, it's looking pretty good. So now I'm searching for that example that led me to do it the other way...– DennisCommented Jul 9, 2011 at 0:19

Sadly, the success of reversing that sequence was short-lived. Seems to be a bit of a gamble as to whether the sticky will "stick." With many dozens of attempts at starting this service, I have had it remain started three times so far. :(– DennisCommented Jul 9, 2011 at 1:02

Well, was your Galaxy Tab experiencing low-memory conditions, or perhaps your Service was doing something memory intensive on the main thread?– IgorGanapolskyCommented Mar 2, 2015 at 21:48

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
