If it can help, here is how my AndroidManifest.xml looks like.
<receiver android:name=".BootCompletedIntentReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"
/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"
/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".AddressLogService"/>
<receiver android:name=".AddressLoggerIntent" />
Suprise, I launched my emulator again and the service started !
Thanks,
Jaikishan
