I noticed that my application wasn't killed because the foreground service continued to run after closing the app, even calling stopService on componentWillUnmount. So, I made this change to solve this problem by adding the stopWithTask tag on the AndroidManifest.xml and calling stopSelf inside onTaskRemoved.
You can check for this problem by verifying that the application's PID is the same after reopening it. In fact, it continues to run even when it is closed.
