A service can be killed at any point by the system to conserve memory.
Are there any tips on creating long running services like this or am I doing anything wrong in my process?
You can help keep your service alive longer by making it foreground and showing a notification, but even that is not bullet proof. Always assume your service will be killed at any point - because it can and probably will, eventually.
That being said, if you set an alarm to re-trigger the Service on each start, it should keep going, theoretically. I don't suppose you're turning your phone off? Because all alarms are lost if you do.
