intentservice - Prevent Android "process is bad" error -

the process bad error not seem documented, , have been able find workarounds. instead interested in cause of error , how prevent happening, , not how manually handle through rebooting, relaunching app, etc.

my particular application uses alarmmanager launch intentservice runs ~10s every ~30s. called on creation of application:

intent serviceintent = new intent(appcontext, myservice.class); serviceintent.putextra("service_extra", extra); launchservice = pendingintent.getservice( appcontext, launch_service_request_code, scanintent, pendingintent.flag_update_current ); alarmmanager.setinexactrepeating( alarmmanager.rtc, system.currenttimemillis() + interval, interval, launchservice );

this works expected of time. however, service fail launch indefinite period, hours @ time. next error seen every ~30s, know alarms attempting launch intentservice scheduled, effort fails process bad error.

unable launch app com.example.android/10024 service intent { cmp=com.example.android/.myservice (has extras) }: process bad

this fixed reopening app. need know how prevent it! purpose of service run in background while activities stopped or destroyed, must prevent error without user interaction or workaround.
