Intent extras are for use with commands (onStartCommand()), or possibly with requests to bind (onBind()). There is no Intent associated with simply creating the service.

Rewrite your service to do the work that is customized by the Intent extras in onStartCommand() or onBind(). Or, consider whether Intent extras are the right approach to use -- for example, I would expect that things a Service needs all of the time would be available in a database or SharedPreferences.
