I have a background service running and a notification listener. I want to call the notification listener from the background service and it does not seem to work. I have below my classes. 1. Main activity starts the service 2.MyService is the background service running 3. NLService is the notification listeners service I want to call inside the MyService

findViewById(R.id.btn_start_service).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Creating an intent for sending to service
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MyService.class);
intent.putExtra("id", 101);
intent.putExtra("msg", "hi");
//starting service
startService(intent);
}
});
}
@Override

super.onStart();
//register broadcast receiver for the intent MyTaskStatus
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(MyReceiver, new IntentFilter("MyServiceStatus"));
}

String message = intent.getStringExtra("serviceMessage");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Received : " + message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

The bacgkround service starts but does not see the NLSErvice. Any help will be much appreciated!
Edit the manifest too:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
