I have a setup that looks something like this:

    class MyFragment implements SomeEventListener {

        Application mAppContext;    

        boolean mBound;
        boolean mDidCallUnbind;
        MyIBinder mBinder;
        ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
            @Override
            public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
                mBound = true;
                mBinder = (MyIBinder) service;
                mBinder.getThings();...
            }
    
            @Override
            public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
                mDidCallUnbind = false;
                mBound = false;
                mBinder = null;
            }
        };
    
        ...

        @Override
        public void onSomeEvent() {
            mAppContext.bindService(...);
        }
    
        void unbindService() {
            if (mBound &amp;&amp; !mDidCallUnbind) {
                mDidCallUnbind = true;
                mAppContext.unbindService(mConnection);
            }
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onPause() {
            unbindService();
            super.onPause();
        }
    }

However, I am still seeing the error in the title from time to time: `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Service not registered` being generated when `unbindService()` is called.  Am I missing something silly, or is there more going on?  I should note that there may be more than one of this same fragment in existence.

*Edit*

Since no one actually seems to be reading the code, let me explain.  `unbindService()` does not call `Context.unbindService(ServiceConnection)` unless the service is bound (`mBound`) **and** it had not previously been called before the `onServiceDisconnected(...)` callback was hit from a possible previous call to `unbindService()`.  

That in mind, are there any cases where Android will unbind your service for you such that the service would become unbound but onServiceDisconnected would not be called thus leaving me in a stale state?  

Also, I am using my Application context to do the initial binding.  Assume something like:

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        mApplication = getContext().getApplicationContext();
    }
