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;
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Log.d("check", "onStart: ");
bindService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class), mServiceConnection, mBindFlag);
}

super.onStop();
if (mServiceMessenger != null) {
unbindService(mServiceConnection);
mServiceMessenger = null;
}
}
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Service still running despite the App is killed

I am trying to understand the difference bwtettn STICKY and NOT_STICKY intent of a service in onStartCommand().
I created the MainActivity and the Service shown in the code below. I expected when I press the button mBtnStopApp, the onDestroy() wil be called and then
I should receive this log ** Log.w(TAG, SubTag.bullet("++++++++ SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING ++++++++")); **
because onStartCommand() returns NOT_STICKY intnet which means, when the App is killed, the service should also be stopped
but that never happens.
what happens is, when i press the button mBtnStopApp, the App is finished but i receive the following log:
** Log.w(TAG, SubTag.bullet("++++++++ SERVICE IS RUNNING ++++++++")); **
please let me know why the service is still running despite it returns START_NOT_STICKY and the App was killed

Android speech recognizer works fine on 5.0.1 but doesn't work on 5.1

I am working on create a speech recognition service on android and followed previous works from others here. The old version was based on android 5.0.1 and it worked perfectly fine.
However, when I try to move it to android 5.1, it always stops in the onError function in the recognition listener with a error code 7, which means ERROR_NO_MATCH.
I don't know why this happened. is there any difference on using speech recognizer in Android 5.0.1 and 5.1?
If someone can help me, I will be very appreciated. Thanks.

Getting speech to text Android

I have been refering to Android Speech Recognition as a service on Android 4.1 & 4.2 post to try and implement speech recognition in a service.
I guess I have got it right. On running in my device I am getting "Ready for Speech" toast message which I have declared inside onReadyForSpeech() function.
According to Hoan Nguyen the person who gave the ans for the above post, we can start speaking as soon as onReadyForSpeech() function is called.
My problem is I don't know how to get the speech which we are speaking and convert it to text and where to do it.
Does any one know how to do it? I know its a very lame question to ask but its my first time working with speech recognition. So please bear with me.
Any help on this is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

You get it in onResult(Bundle result), which you can then get what the user speak into an ArrayList
ArrayList<String> matches = result.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);

Running Android Speech Recognition as Service: will not start

I'm using the solution here: Android Speech Recognition as a service on Android 4.1 & 4.2 The code below gets to the onStartCommand() method, however the speech recogntion never seems to kick off, as evidenced by the fact that the onReadyForSpeech() method is never called.
UPDATE:
So I added and that allowed the onReadyForSpeech() to be called , BUT onError() is called with error code: 6 after the onReadyForSpeech() method is complete (this goes into a continuous loop because the start listening code is started again after onError() is called). Like Hoan Nguyen states below, error code 6 is ERROR_SPEECH_TIMEOUT BUT I never see a speech recognition dialog come up so I know to start speaking. I also tried to start speaking immediately after kicking off this code without that dialog coming and still get error code 6, what am I doing wrong here?
UPDATE (9-06-13):
Like Hoan stated, there is no dialog that comes up. You just start talking as soon as listening is called. But I ran into another issue where trying to restart the listener after every onResult() is called...That issue and the complete code for this can be found here: Android Speech Speech Recognition: Repeated Calling of SpeechRecognizer.startListening() fails on JB 4.1.2
My activity code that calls the service:
startService(new Intent(VoiceRecognition.this, VoiceRecogService.class));
My service:
public class VoiceRecogService extends Service
{
protected AudioManager mAudioManager;
protected SpeechRecognizer mSpeechRecognizer;
protected Intent mSpeechRecognizerIntent;
protected final Messenger mServerMessenger = new Messenger(new IncomingHandler(this));
protected boolean mIsListening;
protected volatile boolean mIsCountDownOn;
static final int MSG_RECOGNIZER_START_LISTENING = 1;
static final int MSG_RECOGNIZER_CANCEL = 2;
private int mBindFlag;
private Messenger mServiceMessenger;
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this);
mSpeechRecognizer.setRecognitionListener(new SpeechRecognitionListener());
mSpeechRecognizerIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
mSpeechRecognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
mSpeechRecognizerIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE,
this.getPackageName());
//mSpeechRecognizer.startListening(mSpeechRecognizerIntent);
}
protected static class IncomingHandler extends Handler
{
private WeakReference<VoiceRecogService> mtarget;
IncomingHandler(VoiceRecogService target)
{
mtarget = new WeakReference<VoiceRecogService>(target);
}
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{
final VoiceRecogService target = mtarget.get();
switch (msg.what)
{

{
// turn off beep sound

}
if (!target.mIsListening)
{
target.mSpeechRecognizer.startListening(target.mSpeechRecognizerIntent);
target.mIsListening = true;
//Log.d(TAG, "message start listening"); //$NON-NLS-1$

break;
case MSG_RECOGNIZER_CANCEL:
target.mSpeechRecognizer.cancel();
target.mIsListening = false;
