Thanks so much for taking so much time to try and help me out. Here is how I create the Notification
private Notification notification; private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID=1; protected Context context; @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return new AndroidServiceImpl(); } @Override public void onCreate(){ super.onCreate(); NotificationManager currentManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); I think the real problem is with the context in the Impl. Can I even get an application context from the impl? Should this be passed to the service from the application? Can it be grabed from AndroidService? public class AndroidServiceImpl extends IAndroidService.Stub{ public String getAndroidText(String conversation) throws RemoteException { // TODO Auto-generated method stub NotificationManager currentManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); Context context = getApplicationContext(); This is for an open source class I am teaching so I can create a Google project tomorrow if you still want to help. That way you can see the whole code.
