Calling and Executing the service

we are starting service as many as the songs are in the list, so we are calling onStartCommand() function each time but if we are close the app why loop doesn't break? and after closing why all songs are start downloading again after once they have downloaded since we are calling the onStartCommand only the length of songs list
