Make sure to add the service tag in manifest.xml

   <service android:name=".ServieName"/>

The service won't start if the service tag is not properly added in the manifest.

For more info refer android documentation

To start service from a fragment use

Java

requireActivity().startService(new Intent(getContext(), ServiceName.class));

Kotlin

requireActivity().startService(Intent(context, ServiceName::class.java)

Replace

startService(new Intent(getActivity(),myPlayService.class));

with

getActivity().startService(new Intent(getActivity(),myPlayService.class));
