Workflow not trigger after new item created

Question
I have a Custom List and the list attached with SharePoint Designer 2007 workflow where trigger when new item created.
If I programmatically create an item in a Custom List, will the action trigger the workflow?
below is the code fragment for programmatically create item in a Custom List.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(_url))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList list = web.Lists["CustomListName"];
SPListItem newItems = list.Items.Add();
newItems["Title"] = "test";
newItems.Update();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
}
I've tried the code above and new item successfully created in the Custom List, but the workflow was not trigger, any idea?
Please help.
Thank you in advanced
Solution
A common issue is that SP1 had a security fix which prevents declarative workflows to start as the system account(as described here). So if you're running the code above as System then that's the cause.
