Starting Service from BroadcastReceiver

Don't forget

context.startService(..);

should be like that:

Intent i = new Intent(context, YourServiceName.class);
context.startService(i);

be sure to add the service to manifest.xml

use the context from the onReceive method of your BroadcastReceiver to start your service component.

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, YourService.class);
      context.startService(serviceIntent);
}

Best Practice :

While creating an intent especially while starting from BroadcastReceiver, dont take this as context. Take context.getApplicationContext() like below

 Intent intent = new Intent(context.getApplicationContext(), classNAME);
context.getApplicationContext().startService(intent);

 try {
        Intent intentService = new Intent(context, MyNewIntentService.class);
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            context.startForegroundService(intentService );
        } else {
            context.startService(intentService );
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
