Add unbindService(mConnection); in your onstop() method. The code will start working properly.

Can you explain better? Don't know where to put it – Stefano Munarini Sep 03 '13 at 10:57
@StefanoMunarini read the Android lifecycle! (in this case Activity lifecycle) – basickarl Dec 03 '13 at 23:18

If you are doing a local binding to the service inside you activity , you need to make sure that you are disconnecting from the service whenever your activity is getting closed. Otherwise the app will start leaking the connection as in your error.

You're trying to show something after you're exit activity ( your thread came back ).

as shown here, you should override the onDestroy and dismiss the dialog that is running after the activity closes.

This can also happen when your Service has registered a BroadcastReceiver and didn't unregister.

So please unregister it in onDestroy

    unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);

If you bind to getApplicationContext() instead, the binding will run as long as your app is running. If you bind to getContext(), and the Activity's context is destroyed, android notices that you didn't close the connection related to that context.
