All callbacks from Android need to be done quickly. This includes
starting services. Only work done on threads of your own creation can
take longer.

Something in your service (onCreate() or onStart(), most likely) is
taking too long.

Yes. Use AsyncTask or something to move the XML parsing off the thread
used for the callback.
