No idea what it means. All i can understand is that it is unable to
get the services object during creation. But i am not sure why.
I am calling it using startService(new Intent(context,
PeriodicUpdationService.class)); where context is
getApplicationContext();
In the Manifest file i have declared as service
android:name=.PeriodicUpdationService android:enabled=true/
I am totally confused not sure why it is unable to create the service.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhijeeth

This means there is a bug in your service. There should be more
details later in your stack trace, showing you where your service is
crashing.
