Service class stopped in android 5.0.2

I used a Service class in my application. It works fine at other versions, but when I tested it in 5.0.2, it works fine when the application is in running state. But when I closed my Application, the service is stopped. I need the service to run continuously in background.
Here is my Service class:
public class ServiceClass extends Service{
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
UpdateLocation();
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
private void UpdateLocation() {
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
Thread thread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
if (mLastLocation != null) {
Log.e("lat", String.valueOf(latitude));
latitude = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
longitude = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
}
GetLocationUpdate();
}
};
thread.start();
}
}, 0, UPDATE_TASK);
}
}
This is my WakefulBroadcastReceiver
public class BootCompleteReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent service = new Intent(context, ServiceClass.class);
context.startService(service);
}
}
My Manifest File
<service android:name=".service.ServiceClass" />
<receiver android:name=".service.BootCompleteReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
Thanks in advance and please help me.

Service and bootup code not working

I am trying to create a service that will run on bootup, however when trying it in my emulator the log is not showing my message through log tag, so clearly something is wrong.
Here is my code.
service.java
public class service extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "myapp.mycomp";
public service() {
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Service started");
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
/** something to do **/
}
};
Thread service = new Thread(r);
service.start();
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Log.i(TAG, "Service stopped");
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
MyReceiver.java
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, service.class);
context.startService(myIntent);
}
}
XML manifest intent
<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
XML manifest permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

AIDL, bind and unbind IExtendedNetworkService Service

I use AIDL interface IExtendedNetworkService to get USSD code. But application only work after reboot device. I tried bindservice after install app but it didn't work. So my problem is how way to bind service without reboot device . This is my code:
interface:
package com.android.internal.telephony;
interface IExtendedNetworkService {
void setMmiString(String number);
CharSequence getMmiRunningText();
CharSequence getUserMessage(CharSequence text);

if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_INSERT)) {
// activity wishes to listen to USSD returns, so activate this
mActive = true;
Log.d(TAG, "activate ussd listener");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_DELETE)) {
mActive = false;
Log.d(TAG, "deactivate ussd listener");
}
}
};
private final IExtendedNetworkService.Stub mBinder = new IExtendedNetworkService.Stub() {
public void clearMmiString() throws RemoteException {
Log.d(TAG, "called clear");
}
public void setMmiString(String number) throws RemoteException {
Log.d(TAG, "setMmiString:" + number);
}
public CharSequence getMmiRunningText() throws RemoteException {
if (mActive == true) {
return null;
}
return "USSD Running";
}
public CharSequence getUserMessage(CharSequence text)
throws RemoteException {
Log.d(TAG, "get user message " + text);
if (mActive == false) {
// listener is still inactive, so return whatever we got
Log.d(TAG, "inactive " + text);
return text;
}
// listener is active, so broadcast data and suppress it from
// default behavior
// build data to send with intent for activity, format URI as per
// RFC 2396

Android addProximityAlarm doesn't work

I found hundreds of topics related to the same problem, but I cannot understand where I get wrong! Because I have written the same code basically...
This is a service which controls the position and adds a promityAlert
public class GeoReminderService extends Service implements LocationListener{
private LocationManager locationManager;
private final String proximityIntentAction = "com.example.geo.ProximityIntentReceiver";
private float latitude;
private float longitude;
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 400, 10, this);
addProximityAlert(45.477872,9.23457);
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.v("Service","Location changed");
if (location != null) {
Log.v("Location changed : Lat: ", ""+location.getLatitude());
Log.v("Location changed : Lon: ", ""+location.getLongitude());
}
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
private void addProximityAlert(double latitude, double longitude) {
Log.v("Service","proximity alert added" + latitude +" "+ longitude);
Intent intent = new Intent(proximityIntentAction);
PendingIntent proximityIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), -1, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
locationManager.addProximityAlert(latitude, longitude, 3000, -1, proximityIntent);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(proximityIntentAction);
registerReceiver(new ProximityIntentReceiver(), filter);
}
Instead this one is the receiver which should captures the event
public class ProximityIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1000;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.v("proximity receiver", "alert received");
String key = LocationManager.KEY_PROXIMITY_ENTERING;
Boolean entering = intent.getBooleanExtra(key, false);
if (entering) {
Log.v("ProximityIntentReceiver", "entering");
}
else {
Log.v("ProximityIntentReceiver", "exiting");
}
}
Even if I change the position (I am using the Android emulator) the event onReceive doesn't fire. At the same time I am sure that I am changing the position correctly , since the event locationChanged works. Can anyone help me, please?

Have you declared ProximityIntentReceiver in the manifest?
In the same area of the manifest where you declare activites, etc., you'd also declare your BroadcastReceiver.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.geo"
android:versionCode="001"
android:versionName="0.1"
>
<application>
...
<receiver android:name=".ProximityIntentReceiver">
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>

My location service is not working

My application works as follows:
I have one location listener to every activity
My location listener(which contains location listener) send broadcast on location changed
All activities have broadcast receiver which allows them to set location on map
It has to be working like that, but even my service doesn't start. I'm exhausted writing this app so I place my code here, maybe I overlooked some simple issue. I need help with that topic:
GPS Service:

One of Activities: (I tried to start or bind service but none method seems to be working).
// package and imports
public class ShareLocationActivity extends MapActivity {
private final int PICK_CONTACT = 123;

}
};
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_share_location);
mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {

mapController = map.getController();
mapController.setCenter(mService.getLastLocation());
mapController.setZoom(17);
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
mBound = false;
}
};
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GeoService.class);
startService(intent);
bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);

share.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent contacts_intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(contacts_intent, PICK_CONTACT);
}
});
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
registerReceiver(locationReceiver, filter);
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
switch (reqCode) {
case (PICK_CONTACT):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (current != null) sendSms(data);
else Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No GPS data yet..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
break;
}
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (!mBound) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GeoService.class);
bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
};
#Override
protected void onPause() {
map.removeAllViews();
if (mBound) {
unbindService(mConnection);
mBound = false;
}
super.onPause();
}
#Override

map.addView(mapMarker, mapMarkerParams);
mapController.setCenter(current);
}
#Override

}
}
And to be sure Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The solution is to keep service and activity which uses it in one package.
It is small issue but can be big problem for someone.
