Thanks, Mark! My code is basically the same as yours. I downloaded your project, and guess what, that too did not work with me! I'm sure it works for you, so I'm thinking my setup is broken somewhere.
LogCat does not mention any service being started, neither with my, nor with your app. An error that I always get (with working apps as well, and often more than one) is this: 07-28 11:43:12.608: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(27800): ERROR: thread attach failed In debug mode, I see that the Service reference remains null in both our apps. However, I do see lots of logging related to GPS, so I think the Service does run. I just don't get a reference to it. I really feel lost now. It should not be this difficult to do something this simple...
