In my project I am starting a service when a button is clicked.
But I don't want to start that service again when that button is clicked unless the previous one is already stopped. So I need to check first whether the service is running or not. I used the following method

```
private boolean isMyServiceRunning() {
    ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
    for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
        if ("com.example.MyService".equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

```

But its not working for me, it doesnt give any exception but always returns false. what should I do now?
