For APIs that return boolean values, use the $http service:

function checkIsActive() {            
    return $http.get('http://localhost:8080/myservice/v1/testService');
}

The $resource service returns arrays for the .query action method and objects for the .get action method.

when i have console.log(myService.checkIsActive()); then it print [object Object] still it does not return boolean.

Keep in mind that the service returns a promise from which the data needs to be extracted:

var promise = myService.checkIsActive();
promise.then(function(response) {
    console.log(response.data);
};

The boolean needs to be extracted from the promise. See update to answer.
