How to stop the service of another application on Android?

Question

On my device, the service in the application is running (its not my application, and I can’t remove it, and my device is not implemented), which always drains the power. I can stop this service in the settings of my devices, but is there a way to stop it programmatically, so I don’t need to do this manually all the time?

Maybe something like stopService (...); works?

Is there a way to change the scheduler to prevent service reboots?

Answer 1

Get the process id for this particular application, and then

android.os.Process.killProcess (processIdKillService)

Answer 2

Here is a long snapshot (I have never tried it):

• Create a Context instance for this application using Context.createPackageContext()
• Use it to stop the service through Context.stopService()
