Android service not working with bindService()

Actually I want to do speech to text continuously in the background so actually I am using the solution which is given in the below link but i m not getting how can i implement it.
link
I have done this so far but still my service is not running and i am not getting any output
So I think that i have done something wrong in its implementation.Please help me and correct my code in order to run service and get my output
This is my mainactivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private int mBindFlag ;
private Messenger mServiceMessenger ;
private Button btStartService;
private TextView tvText;

super.onStart();
Log.d("check", "onStart: ");
bindService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class), mServiceConnection, mBindFlag);

unbindService(mServiceConnection);

You are getting the exception because in class ObdGatewayService your class member mChatservice is not the same as mChatservice in class LiveFragment
They are just different member variables
mChatservice gets assigned like this in your Fragment
mChatService = new BluetoothChatService(getActivity(), mHandler);
You need to pass this reference to ObdGatewayService 's startService() like this where ever you are instantiating/invoking it:-
ObdGatewayService ogs;
....
ogs.startservice(mChatservice); // This is fragment's member reference
And in ObdGatewayService you have to assign it accordingly:-
public void startService(BluetoothChatService _mChatservice) throws IOException {
Log.d(TAG, "Starting service..");
bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
mChatservice = _mChatservice //Assignment YOU ARE MISSING THIS
.......
.......

Could this have something to do with detaching when the app goes on pause or stop and not re-attaching when it comes back to life? Are there other things I should be considering?
Ultimately the app needs to keep communication open to about 5 or 6 devices over p2p. if there is a better strategy I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.
Update - So I've confirmed that both the onDestroy and onDetach methods of the fragment are firing when the main activity goes onStop. Since I have a method to close the sockets on death of the fragment they are getting closed. The big question now is how to keep the fragment alive?

You should maybe create a helper class that will open/close sockets on behalf of other classes, such as that fragment, that helper class won't be subjected to any life cycle events, and can be kept running as long as the Application process is alive

Getting incoming calls for an hour only using Twilio

I have implemented Twilio in my android app for outgoing and incoming calls. But I'm facing an issue while getting incoming call with the background service. The issue is that I get calls in first 30-40 mins only. After sometime phone stops getting incoming calls. I tried so much. Please respond me soon. I'm sharing code with you too.
I get token from a background service which generates token after a time period.

Is it possible to pass Chromcast connection info between Activities?

I am developing an app that connects to a Chromecast, everything works fine when I do it from one activity, the problem is, that I want that activity to be fullscreen with no action bar, and no soft buttons. I am achiving that, hiding them when the users connects to the Chromecast, but it would be better if the users connect from the first activity (with action bar) and then goes to the second activity and the magic occurs there. But I can't pass the session between the activities. I have follow this tutorial to make the communication with the chromecast but tried to change a little to make the 2 acitivites communication.
Of course I have tested it and it returns a NullPointerException.

If you have an application with multiple activities, you are better off if you do not tie the cast connectivity and related states to any of those activities, instead you can have a singleton, or use your Application instance or use a background service or ... to maintain the connection and access the required pieces that are maintained in that global place. If it fits your requirement, you might want to use the CastCompanionLibrary that already does most of the routine stuff for you; if not, you can take a look at it and the see how the CastVideos sample app uses that and try to do something similar for your application.
