When your brodcast getting received, your broadcast activity will called.

at that time you can call any activity as you want.

see below code:

 @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        AM_EM_APRIL_2012 = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
                Intent in1 = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiverNotificationForEveryMonth.class);
                in1.putExtra("MyMessage","PAYE payment and employer monthly schedule for March");
                PI_EM_APRIL_2012 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 1, in1, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                AM_EM_APRIL_2012.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar_PAYE_20_APRIL_2012.getTimeInMillis(),PI_EM_APRIL_2012);
            }

In above code, AlarmReceiverNotificationForEveryMonth.class is the called activity this is what you have to do if you want to call the activity while the message get broadcast. at that time you can start the respective service as you want.

Hope you got My point.

In your code you are not passing data, extras to your Service. You are adding adding data and extras to an Intent object, passing a different Intent object to startService() method. Use the solution suggested by @Zzokk in the other post, it should work.

Try this:

Intent newIntent = new Intent(context, DownloadService.class)
newIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.mysite.net/LEDstate.txt"));
newIntent.putExtra("urlpath", "http://www.mysite.net/LEDstate.txt");


context.startService(newIntent);
