Why the services are not starting in my case?

I'm very new to Android and I'm trying to understand the service.

My manifest file looks:

    <!--The invoice launcher service-->
    <service android:process=":invoice_background"
             android:name="InvoiceManagerService"
             android:label="invoice_service" />

    <!--The receiver-->
    <receiver android:name="InvoiceStartupReceiver"
              android:process=":invoice_background">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

My service looks like :

public class InvoiceManagerService extends Service {

    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }
}

and my receiver looks like:

public class InvoiceStartupReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        Intent invoiceService = new Intent(context, InvoiceManagerService.class);
        context.startService(invoiceService);


    }
}

My app is getting executed without any error. But no services been created! Where I'm making the mistake?

Thanks in advance.

Because of this sentence I suggest you use an IntentService instead of Service as IntentService is much easier to use. I wrote some basic code for another answer where the person wanted to download a file and then inform the Activity this had happened. It will show you proper use of the IntentService and how to call the task is finished.

Use this permission in manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
