Starting service from another service

Question

I'm trying to start a service from another service. But wonder what's going wrong. The code is like

class Service1 extends GCMBaseIntentService {

    @Override
    protected void onMessage(Context arg0, Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Intent service = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Service2.class);
        startService(service);
    }
}

And Service2 is

class Service2 extends Service {

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

I'm getting the Toast "Hello" in Service1 but not getting Toast "Service Started" from Service2

Answer 1

Instead of using getApplicationContext() you should use Service1.this or getBaseContext() . Have you declared your Service2 in the AndroidManifest?
