the solution was like this, but with Looper.getMainLooper() :

https://github.com/JonasCz/save-for-offline/blob/master/app/src/main/java/jonas/tool/saveForOffline/ScreenshotService.java

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    //HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("ScreenshotService", Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
    //thread.start();
    //mServiceHandler = new ServiceHandler(thread.getLooper()); // not working
    mServiceHandler = new ServiceHandler(Looper.getMainLooper()); // working
}
