Android L (API 21) - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Service Intent must be explicit

Android new version - \"Lollipop\" (API 21) brings quite a few changes with it, but it comes with some price if you wish to target your app to that API.

Answer 1

intent = new Intent("com.example.intent.ACTION");
intent.setPackage("com.example")
