Answer 1

Ref Below link:

http://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html

startService(i1); //Start Service.

Use startActivityForResult() instead of startActivity() because in service we use startActivityResult() method because broadcast receiver will give the response of onresultActivity.. so you could use this line

Use startActivityForResult(intent,requestcode ) instead of startActivity() .

Thank you..

Just do,

   public void onCreate() {
    super.onStart(intent, startId);
    Intent in=new Intent().setClass(yourserviceclass.this,ActivityClass.class);
     in.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    startActivity(in);
}
