The problem you are likely experiencing is that the Eclipse plugin only attaches by default to the process that hosts the activity configured in the Run dialog. Android is capable of running services in their own separate process. There are two ways around this: (1) make sure that your manifest file doesn't declare the service process as remote, or (2) switch to the DDMS perspective in Eclipse and manually attach to the correct service process.
