Why is this simple service not starting?

I have a service with a handler that has to write "Hello" in the logcat every 5 seconds. But it doesn't write nothing on the logcat... It's like the service is not executing, and I put a breakpoint on it and the debug mode never stops on the breakpoint.

I start the service, in the first activity of my app, with this:

startService(new Intent(GPSLoc.this, MyServiceNotifications.class)); //enciendo el service  

I am sure that the code startService is executed because it is called before starting another activity, and the other activity starts.

This is the code of my service:

public class MyServiceNotifications extends Service {        boolean serviceStopped;        private Handler mHandler;      private Runnable updateRunnable = new Runnable() {          @Override          public void run() {              if (serviceStopped == false)              {                  createNotificationIcon();              }              queueRunnable();          }      };        private void queueRunnable() {          // 600000 : cada 10 minutos, comprueba si hay nuevas notificaciones y actualiza la          // notification BAR          mHandler.postDelayed(updateRunnable, 5000);        }        @Override      public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {          return null;      }        @Override      public void onCreate() {          serviceStopped = false;            // //////////////////////////////////////MANEJADOR SIMILAR A UN HILO          mHandler = new Handler();          queueRunnable();          // ///////////////////////////////////// FIN MANEJADOR      }        @Override      public void onDestroy() {          serviceStopped = true;      }        @Override      public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {        }        public void createNotificationIcon()      {          Log.d("MyServiceNotifications", "Hello");      }      }

There are also circumstances where you need to put the "enabled" attribute to "true" when defining it in the manifest, like so:

Did you declare the service in AndroidManifest.xml?

Very important: write the name space correctly, for example:

in my AndroidManifest.xml previously it was (wrong):

No service started and no error message!

If using Xamarin Droid the easiest way to do this is to mark the class as a service like this:

[Service]  public class LongRunningTaskService : Service  {      ...  }  

Then there's no need to put it in the AndroidManifest.xml.
