how to check if service is running or not

Question

I want to display service status,if it is running or stopped. I am using the below code but it shows "stopped" before starting service. when service is started it shows "running". and when it is stopped again it shows "running" only. Am I making any mistake in setting sharedPreference status. In mainActivity

  onCreate()
  {
   checkServiceStatus() ;
  }

  private void checkServiceStatus() 
{
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"in enableControls", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    boolean isServiceRunning = AppSettings.getServiceRunning(this);     
    if (isServiceRunning)
    {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"service running", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();    
    } 
    else 
    {   
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"service stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();        
    }
}


  public class AppSettings 
  {
 public static final String SERVICE_STATE = "isServiceRunning";
 public static boolean getServiceRunning(Context context){
         SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences(GPSLOGGER_PREF_NAME, 0);

         return pref.getBoolean(SERVICE_STATE, false);
 }

 public static void setServiceRunning(Context context, boolean isRunning){
         SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences(GPSLOGGER_PREF_NAME, 0);
         SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();

         editor.putBoolean(SERVICE_STATE, isRunning);
         editor.commit();
 }

 ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager)context.   getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);//use context received in broadcastreceiver

for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE))
 {

     if (MyService.class.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
                         //running 
        }
    else{
          //not running 
        }

 }

     {
        ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        if (connec.getNetworkInfo(0).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED
                || connec.getNetworkInfo(1).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)
            return true;
