broadcast receiver not receiving Intent through Service

I'm trying to implement a Broadcast Receiver who should receive Intent from a Service which is running in the background, however it is not working.

In my main Activity I just bind the service and start it via onClick on a Button.

In my SpeechRecognizer Service class I create a new BroadcastReceiver (see code below).

public void onCreate() {
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");             

    if (SpeechRecognizer.isRecognitionAvailable(this)){                         //check if a SpeechRecognizer is available
        this.sr = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(this);       
        this.sr.setRecognitionListener(new listener());  

        commandsReceiver = new CommandsReceiver();
        ConnectivityManager cm =(ConnectivityManager) 
        getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

        testfilter = new IntentFilter();
        registerReceiver(commandsReceiver,testfilter);

    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this,"Please install a SpeechRecognizer on your system.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  //alert if speech-recognizer is not installed on the device
        Log.d(TAG, "no SpeechRecognizer available");
        this.onDestroy();
    }   
}

In my onResult I do it like this:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(CommandsReceiver.TEST);
sendBroadcast(intent);

In my CommandsReceiver I just got a simple String and a Log message:

public class CommandsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public static final String TEST = "de.speech.TEST_INTENT";

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.d("BroadCastReceiver", "Intent received"+intent);
    }
}

However I'm not getting the Log.d() message.

I hope you can help me out.

Seems you are creating an IntentFilter without any Action as

testfilter = new IntentFilter();

instead of,

testfilter = new IntentFilter(CommandsReceiver.TEST);

so, register your BroadCast using,

testfilter = new IntentFilter(CommandsReceiver.TEST);
registerReceiver(commandsReceiver,testfilter);
