IntentService is not called from BroadCastReceiver

Question

below codes are IntentService , BoradCastReceiver , MainAcitivity, Menifest

Actually When the app is started IntentService is called from MainActivity

When called from MainActivity, it works fine.

But When called from BroadCastReceiver, it seems not called.

Please tell me what i should do to solve it.

    private Context context = null;

    private LocationManager mLocMan = null;
    private Location currentLocation = null;
    private AudioManager mAudioManager = null;



    public LocationBackGround() {
        super("LocationBackGround");
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        context = getBaseContext();

        Toast.makeText( context , "intentService start : LocationBackGround", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();

        db = new MySQLiteHelper(context);
        locationNStates = db.getAllLocationNStates();

        mLocMan = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        mAudioManager = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);


        requestLocation();

    }
}

When i boot up then i could see a Taost showing "StartBackGround".

But i cannot see "intentService start : LocationBackGround" Toast

is there any problem with my code?

Please teach me...

Answer 1

your code looks good. I use a very similar code with my service after booting the device. The difference in my project is that I call a Service - not an IntentService.
