Service Intent must be explicit: Intent

Question

I have an app some time now in which I call a service through a broadcast receiver (MyStartupIntentReceiver). The code in the broadcast receiver in order to call the service

Answer 1

Try this. it works for me. Here MonitoringService is my service class. I have two action, which indicate service to stop or start. I send that value from my broadcast receiver depend on AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED.

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {   
    String action = intent.getAction();

    if(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED.equalsIgnoreCase(action)){
         boolean isOn = intent.getBooleanExtra("state", false);
         String serviceAction = isOn? MonitoringService.StopAction : MonitoringService.StartAction;
         Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, MonitoringService.class);
         serviceIntent.setAction(serviceAction);
         context.startService(serviceIntent);
    }
}

NOTE: I add following code to trigger my broadcast receiver named: ManageLocationListenerReceiver.
