Stop a foreground service

If you want a foreground service to stop running in the foreground, you have
two options. You can stop the service, or you can leave the service
running but remove it from the foreground.
You can stop a foreground service
the same way you would stop any service. The service can
call its own stopSelf() method, or another component can stop it
by calling stopService(). If you stop the service while it runs
in the foreground, its notification is removed.
To remove a service from the foreground, call
stopForeground()
from inside the service. This method takes a boolean, which indicates whether to
remove the status bar notification as well. The service continues to run, but
it is no longer a foreground service.
