AlarmManager Unable to start service Intent

Question

Can anyone tell what silly mistake am I making for the following code and getting the error.

I have tried similar stackoverflow posts and samples.

error : 06-24 09:06:36.074: W/ActivityManager(61): Unable to start service Intent { flg=0x4 cmp=com.example.myapp/.Updater (has extras) }: not found

package com.example.myapp;

import android.app.AlarmManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.util.Log;

public class Booter extends BroadcastReceiver {

      public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String action = intent.getAction();

        if (action.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
          Log.e("boot-status","BOOT_COMPLETED==========================");
        //  SharedPreferences prefs = context.getSharedPreferences("$MYPACKAGE_preferences",0);
        //  if (prefs.getBoolean("startatboot",false)) {
        if(true){
        Intent updateIntent = new Intent();
        updateIntent.setClass(context, Updater.class);

        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, updateIntent, 0);
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis()+60000, pendingIntent);
          }
        }
      }

Answer 1

Two things:

1. You have to declare Updater in your manifest.
2. Is Updater a service or an activity? You should extend a super class which is either service or an activity.
