If the service ever has been started but is not in the foreground, the service would be terminated without calling onDestroy(). This is because when onStartCommand returns START_STICKY [1], the app takes the responsibility to stop the service. Note that this change interrupts the user journey when paused, because the notification is removed. Apps can implement playback resumption [2] to give the user an option to resume playback after the service has been terminated.
