android service stops and again create when i close application

Question

I am developing an application in which i have implement the service.But when i exit from my application, service stops (but onDestroy() is never called) and then starts again (OnCreate() called).

Actually,I dont want to stop service once it is created regardless the state of application. As service onCreate() is getting called again,service looses the previous processed data.I have tried START_STICKY but no luck.

so, How can i keep my service running?

here is my service code,

public class ddservice extends Service{

public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Log.e("dservice", "onCreate");
                  /*here i am processing some important data in
                background thread*/  
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        Log.e("ddservice", "onDestroy");

    }

    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
        super.onStart(intent, startid);
        Log.e("ddservice", "onStart");

    }

    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
        Log.e("ddservice", "onStartCommand");

        return START_STICKY;
    }   


    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }   


}//service class ends here

And i am starting this service from mainActivity as,

startService(new Intent(this, ddservice.class));

@Tapirboy:thank you for your weblink,running service in separate process solved my problem. — dd619, Jan 10 '13 at 05:20

You should start your service as foreground Service.startForeground(int, Notification)

i implement the Service.startForeground(int, Notification) but causing the same issue. – dd619 Jan 09 '13 at 11:19
i put http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3687200/implement-startforeground-method-in-android code in onStart(); – dd619 Jan 09 '13 at 12:08
`onStart` deprecated since API level 5 and not invoked anymore. You should put it in `onCreate` – Vladimir Mironov Jan 09 '13 at 12:31
i put it in onCreate() but same issue. – dd619 Jan 09 '13 at 12:54
