BINGO! If you're using getDefaultSharedPreferences, you want to use getApplication() to get the context to supply.
The shared preference file name can differ if you use differing contexts. You want to use the same context every time, no matter which activity or service you look at it from. So you need the Application. Using adb (you may need a rooted phone or the emulator to do this), look at /data/data/<pkgid>/shared_prefs, which is where the preference files get created as .xml files. This will give you a much better understanding of how this works, and will also let you more directly debug any problems.
