How can I stop the service of another app in Android?-Collection of common programming errors

On my device runs a service in an app (its not my app and I cannot uninstall it and my device is not rooted) that is always draining power. I can stop that service in my devices application settings but is there a way to stop it programatically, so I don’t have to do that manually all the time ?

Could maybe something like stopService(…); work ?

Is there maybe a way to change the scheduler to prevent the restarts of the service ?
