copied!<p>That's not how you do multithreading in Services. Look At the step "Extending the Service Class": <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/services.html" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/services.html</a></p> <p>Multithreading in a Service Class is done with an Handler thread. Here is the code from the docs (from the link above)</p> <pre><code>public class HelloService extends Service { private Looper mServiceLooper; private ServiceHandler mServiceHandler; // Handler that receives messages from the thread private final class ServiceHandler extends Handler { public ServiceHandler(Looper looper) { super(looper); } @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { // Normally we would do some work here, like download a file. // For our sample, we just sleep for 5 seconds. long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 5*1000; while (System.currentTimeMillis() < endTime) { synchronized (this) { try { wait(endTime - System.currentTimeMillis()); } catch (Exception e) { } } } // Stop the service using the startId, so that we don't stop // the service in the middle of handling another job stopSelf(msg.arg1); } } @Override public void onCreate() { // Start up the thread running the service. Note that we create a // separate thread because the service normally runs in the process's // main thread, which we don't want to block. We also make it // background priority so CPU-intensive work will not disrupt our UI. HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("ServiceStartArguments", Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND); thread.start(); // Get the HandlerThread's Looper and use it for our Handler mServiceLooper = thread.getLooper(); mServiceHandler = new ServiceHandler(mServiceLooper); } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { Toast.makeText(this, "service starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); // For each start request, send a message to start a job and deliver the // start ID so we know which request we're stopping when we finish the job Message msg = mServiceHandler.obtainMessage(); msg.arg1 = startId; mServiceHandler.sendMessage(msg); // If we get killed, after returning from here, restart return START_STICKY; } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { // We don't provide binding, so return null return null; } @Override public void onDestroy() { Toast.makeText(this, "service done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } </code></pre> <p>Furthermore you have to make sure that your Broadcast Receiver is listed in the manifest and receives the BOOT_COMPLETED Intent:</p> <pre><code><receiver android:name="MyBroadCast"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> </code></pre>
