Restarting Services in Android

In android application if I save the intent of the service that is running. How can I restart the service? I want it to run onStartCommand function again.

Thanks

Solution

  • Make onStartCommand return START_STICKY .

    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId){
   super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
   return  START_STICKY; 
}
