MapService is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file

Question

I want to use HereMap SDK in my android app. I followed official tutorial https://developer.here.com/documentation/android-premium/dev_guide/topics/app-create-simple.html .

When I run app, I get an error message:

MapService is missing from the AndroidManifest.xml file. Please refer to the user guide for details about proper project setup.

The message address missing MapService, but I have already added MapService to AndroidManifest.xml . This is my AndroidManifest.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

                <action android:name="@string/here_map_intent_name" >
                </action>
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
    </application>

</manifest>

Can you help me in this situation? Thank you all!

I am using HereMap SDK version 3.13.3, I have modified HereMap service declaration as folowings so now it works brilliant. Note that I use string directly com.heremapproject.myapp instead of @string/here_map_intent_name inside <intent-filter>

<service
    android:name="com.here.android.mpa.service.MapService"
    android:label="HereMapService"
    android:exported="false" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.heremapproject.myapp" ></action>
    </intent-filter>
</service>
