Android - How to save a Service from restartPackage()?

I have made an app which has a service which should be started as soon as my app starts.

But the problem is whenever i try to kill my app using any Task Killer out there then my service is getting crashed and showing me NullPointerException. And as far as i know these task killer call restartPackage() using package name.

This is how i am starting my service :-

Intent intent = new Intent(myContext, BackService.class);
intent.putExtra("input", duration);
startService(intent);

and here i am getting the NullPointerException after killing my app:-

Long duration = intent.getLongExtra("input", 199999999);

Any idea how to solve this issue?

It looks like the Context being passed to the Intent is being nullified when the app is killed. The easy fix is:

Long duration = 199999999;
if(intent!=null){
    duration = intent.getLongExtra("input", 199999999);
}
