error i’ve googled and searched in stackoverflow seen some questions about this error but those solutions are not worked with me. StackoverFlow, enter link description here, Please check this once.

Service Class:

public class BgService extends Service {

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate();
    }
    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("OnStart");
        super.onStart(intent, startId);

    }
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("OnStartcmd");
       return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, 10);
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.UserLogin"

Answer 1

Your service declaration in manifest must be nested in application tag like this..

<application>
<service android:name="" />
</application>

and yeah… how can your activity be outside of your application tag.. 😐
