Android how to check if the intent service is still running or has stopped running Ask Question

I need to know if all intentservices in the queue are "consumed" or the other way is to find out if it is still doing something so that I don't continue until all
services have stopped running. Any ideas?

Try this may be useful for u

private boolean isMyServiceRunning() {

ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
if ("com.example.MyService".equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
