Not allowed to start service Intent
<p>I'm trying to call a service from a activity:</p>

<p>When I'm running the program the activity throws an error which says: Not allowed to start service Intent. What am I doing wrong? I'm sorry for possible stupid mistakes in the code, but I'm a newbie.</p>

<p>activity code: </p>

<pre><code>public void startService() {
try { 
startService (new Intent ( this  , SmsReminderService.class)) ; }
catch (Exception e ) { Log.v("Error" , e.getMessage()) }
}
</code></pre>

<p>service code :</p>

<pre><code>public class SmsReminderService extends Service {

@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
    Log.v("SSms", "Service started") ; }}
</code></pre>

<p>manifest: </p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="me.sms.smsReminder"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" &gt;

&lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" /&gt;

&lt;permission android:name="SEND_SMS"&gt;&lt;/permission&gt;


&lt;application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
    &lt;activity
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:name=".SmsReminderActivity" &gt;
        &lt;intent-filter &gt;
            &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;

            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
    &lt;/activity&gt;
    &lt;service android:name=".SmsReminderService"    
             android:permission="android.permission.BIND_REMOTEVIEWS"&gt;
            &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                &lt;action android:name = "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" &gt;&lt;/action&gt;
            &lt;/intent-filter&gt;

        &lt;/service&gt;
&lt;/application&gt;
&lt;/manifest&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advance, Tom </p>
