As per android documentation about Service LifeCycle http://ift.tt/1pKzsyP

one you start the service "The service will at this point continue running until Context.stopService() or stopSelf() is called."

what is meant by service will continue running? If service is bound to some connection I understand that it's waiting for callbacks from it's connection but what if service is started ? Once onStartCommand is executed what is the purpose of service left?
