Is it okay for a Service in android to extend Coroutine Scope?

Yes :
```
class MyService : Service(), CoroutineScope by MainScope()
```
But you could also use composition :
```
class MyService : Service() {
    private val scope = MainScope()
}
```
In either case, don't forget to cancel the scope in onDestroy.

Just extend  `LifecycleService` from AndroidX Lifecycle Service and use `lifecycleScope` .

Don’t make it implement CoroutineScope. Either create a new scope within it or use the `lifecycleScope`. A service should _have_ a scope, not _be_ a scope

When would we cancel the created scope? In the service `onDestroy` method?
