How to stop a service?
<p>I have a service [IntentService] which runs a 'timer task' scheduled to run after every 5 minutes. I start the service when my application is installed.</p>

<p>Now i want to stop my service [service runs a 'timer task'], but when i use stopService() method i am unable to stop my service. I tried to put a log in the onDestroy() method of my service but stopService() does not reaches there.</p>

<p>Also, since stopService() returns boolean i logged its output, it is returning false.</p>

<p>How should i stop it??</p>
