    copied!<p>I've read probably 100 questions and answers on this issue, but I cant seem to get this working. I'm trying to start a <code>Service</code> from an <code>Activity</code>. My manifest file seems OK, the way I'm starting the <code>Service</code> also seems to be correct. The following error is showing up in LogCat:</p> <pre><code>ActivityManager(1296): Unable to start service Intent { cmp=com.exercise.AndroidClient/com.client.Communication }: not found </code></pre> <p>I'm attempting to start the service by calling this in my <code>Activity</code>:</p> <pre><code>startService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Communication.class)); </code></pre> <p>The <code>Service</code> is the following:</p> <pre><code>public class Communication extends Service { public Communication() { super(); } @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); Log.i("Service", "Created service"); } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { Log.i("Service", "onStartCommand called"); return START_STICKY; } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { return null; } } </code></pre> <p>The entry in my manifest file is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.exercise.AndroidClient" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"&gt; &lt;application android:icon="@drawable/sms" android:label="@string/app_name" &gt; &lt;activity&gt; ... &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;service android:enabled="true" android:name=".Communication" /&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any advice is greatly appriciated.</p>
