Should Android Exchange services still be running with no wifi on

Is it normal for 'Android Exchange services' to continue to run when I have turned wifi/data connection off?

Can I stop it if it's supposed to have stopped after turning off wifi/data connection?

Thanks
 
I believe as a service, it should continue to run. I would assume turning it off is the way to stop it once it's started. But I'm not a 100 percent certain about this.

Is it draining the battery or something?
 
Thanks for replying
I was just wondering if it should continue to run when I did not have wifi or data connection on.

So this is the same for the email app, as that continues to run when wifi/data is not on.

1 process 1 service is running for both even when wifi/data is not on.

I just want to know that this how the Android OS operates and there is nothing to worry about.

In general, yes, services and apps will "run" in the background whether you are connected to a network and sometimes if you haven't even used an app recently. This is normal for Android (being, basically, Linux) and you can mostly leave it alone to manage those things. Android will most times do a better job than you will.

You only get concerned if something shows up when you tap battery as using a large percent of battery that is out of proportion. That usually means there may be a background sync or some such you would profit from unchecking in accounts or some other app setting.
