Question

Following should work. I have verified. May be your problem is somewhere else.

Receiver:

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(arg1.getAction())) {
            Log.d("TAG", "MyReceiver");
            Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, Test1Service.class);
            context.startService(serviceIntent);
        }
    }
}

Service:

public class Test1Service extends Service {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Log.d("TAG", "Service created.");
    }
    
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        Log.d("TAG", "Service started.");
        return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        super.onStart(intent, startId);
        Log.d("TAG", "Service started.");
    }
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
        return null;
    }
}

Manifest:
