Library + versions used (Espresso, Runner, Rules etc.):
// classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha9'

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.4.1') {
exclude module: 'support-annotations'
}
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.4.1') {
exclude module: 'support-annotations'
}

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Setup example project with a FooService that returns itself via its LocalBinder (see attached sample project for easy setup).
2. Setup a test case using a ServiceTestRule that has 5 methods. Each of these methods call activityRule.bindService() and get the service via the returned 'LocalBinder.getService()' method.
3. Run the androidTest. First test will pass, 4 next tests will fail.

How are you running your tests (via Android Studio, Gradle, adb, etc.)?
Results are the same when running via Android Studio as well as `./gradlew connectedAndroidTest`.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: All 5 tests green. The service should always be shutdown at the end of each test by the ServiceTestRule.
Actual: First test green, other tests red - caused by a NullPointerException at LocalBinder.getService()).

Overall, this means we can't write more than one @Test method for a single service, because all following tests might fail.
