android - Uninstalling app doesn't trigger onDestroy in service -
i'm developing android service. when service stopped, ondestroy called expected. however, when uninstall app while service running, ondestroy not called, leaving app no chance clean-up itself.
is normal? how can perform shutdown/cleanup logic service when app uninstalled?
you cannot guarantee ondestroy called in cases.
when android app stopped system, app not shut downwards gracefully. instead much simpler kill process running in - shutting downwards dalvik instance right away. optimisation made possible sandboxing of placing separate apps in own runtime instances.
that why ondestroy not called - app stopped dead in tracks.
in addition, mentioned in jim's explanation, apps cannot notified of own uninstallation.
android android-service uninstall
