That is how i starting my service from receiver:

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    // TODO: This method is called when the BroadcastReceiver is receiving
    // an Intent broadcast.
    context.startService(new Intent(context, MyService.class));
}

And it works perfect.
