	// Pops a notification in the task bar

		notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;

	}

	// Stop beacons monitoring, and closes the service
	public static void stop() {

}

In the above snippet i am trying to create 20 regions for monitoring using a loop(not sure whether its efficient).However i want to stop monitoring those regions after a particluar interval.Created a Stop() method which stops monitoring,issue is how can i stop those regions which i have created inside a loop??

My idea: keep the Region objects you create in the for loop in a List (e.g., add additional regions property to your EstimoteMonitoringManager class). Then, when you need to stop monitoring, you can iterate over that list and issue the stopMonitoring call for each Region in the list.

@heypiotr I did as you said but it’s not working with Multiple Beacon Monitoring.

What do you mean by “it’s not working,” it doesn’t stop? Can you share the code?
