Answer 1

You should listen to the Intent "android.intent.action.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW" with an BroadcastReciever

You can stop your components via: Add the BroadcastReceiver via code in your Services and Activities. It will receive the Intent where you can stop the components: Activity has finish(), Service has stopSelf(). This will only stop the components which have been running before! (a good thing)

Or you can do it via BroadcastReceiver via manifest: When you receive it in the BroadcastReceiver.onReceive you can call stopService to stop your Service. To stop the Activity is a lot harder, check if your Activity is in the foreground, send a custom Intent to it. It will receive it and can stop itself. Prerequisite is that it is singleInstance.
