    copied!<p><em>Hello</em></p> <p>I want to check whether my service is running or not, if service is running, do nothing.</p> <p>But if service is not running, restart the service.</p> <p>So I do something like this.</p> <p><code>In Manifest.xml</code></p> <pre><code>&lt;receiver android:name="com.varma.android.aws.receiver.Receiver"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; </code></pre> <p><code>Receiver.java</code></p> <pre><code>public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.i("aws", "Received..."); if(isMyServiceRunning(context)) { Log.v("aws", "Yeah, it's running, no need to restart service"); } else { Log.v("aws", "Not running, restarting service"); Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, Service.class); context.startService(intent1); } } private boolean isMyServiceRunning(Context context) { ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE); for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) { if (Service.class.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) { return true; } } return false; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>But nothing is happening when I ON/OFF screen</strong></p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
