I'm getting the following message in the logcat when I try to call
startService (for an IntentService) inside a BroadcastReceiver:

My BR onReceive code looks like this:
public class DataqAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
context.startService( new Intent( context , DataqService.class
) );
}
}
My manifest service/receiver section looks like this:
<service android:name="com.sensor2cloud.raisin.DataqService">
</service>
<receiver
android:name="com.sensor2cloud.raisin.DataqAlarmReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
The constructor of my IntentService looks like this:
public DataqService(String name) {
super("DataqService");
}
>From the debugger, I can see the constructor is never getting called.
I'm guessing that the context I'm passing in onReceive is not an
appropriate one for the IntentService. Any ideas about what might be
wrong?
