public class MyService extends Service {

    private int counter=0;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        counter++;

        Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started : " + counter, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        return Service.START_STICKY;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Service Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


    Button buttonStartService;
    Button buttonStopService;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        buttonStartService = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStartService);
        buttonStopService = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonStopService);

        buttonStartService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyService.class);
                startService(intent);
            }
        });

        buttonStopService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyService.class);
                stopService(intent);
            }
