How to create manifest file for an app that needs only one java file as a service?

I am trying to create a simple background app that extends a subclass of the system service, the resource of the original file (that is being extended) lays out general instructions on how to declare it as a service in the manifest file:

   <service>
      android:name=".MyCustom"
      android:exported="true"
      android:icon="@drawable/my_icon"
      android:label="@string/my_custom_label" >
 
      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="android.service.targetservice" />
          <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
      <meta-data
          android:name="android.service.targetservice"
          android:resource="@xml/my_custom" />
  </service>

But I can't figure out what to put inside in the <application> tag. The file MyCustom is the single java file in the entire project.

Any help will be appreciated!

All of that goes in the application tag. The application tag has all services, activities, and broadcast receivers inside it.
