NullPointerException on NetworkInfo

I am programming a service that runs when you boot the phone, but you need an Internet connection and connection to send SMS operator. I wrote a function to ConnectionManager as in other post appears, but I always get the same answer: NullPointerException, when I do the following:

I define cm as ConnectionManager and 

NetworkInfo NetInfo = cm.getNetworkInfo();

Is it not because of this?

How can I fix it?

Sorry if I did not put all the code ...

I have the following in the OnStart () method of a service that is activated by ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED ...

@ Override
public void OnStart (Intent intent, int start) {

    Context aplCtx = getApplicationContext ();


    IsConnected boolean = false;
    while (! IsConnected) {
        try {
            IsConnected = IsOnline (aplCtx);

        } Catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d (e.toString ());
        }
    }

    .....  
}

private boolean IsOnline (Context ctx) {

    boolean result = false;

    try {
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) ctx.getSystemService     (Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        cm.getActiveNetworkInfo NetworkInfo ni = ();

        if (ni! = null) {
           if (ni.getState () == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) {
               result = true;
           }
        }
        return result;
}

Since this is a background function and after starting the Smartphone, the operating system to force kill the process, before we get an Internet connection. How I can resolve this?, How do I get the operating system does not kill the process and have an Internet connection to perform the following actions?

Without your code, We can't say anything what going wrong,

But to get network info I am using this, If you are not make a mistake then it also works,

public static boolean netConnect(Context ctx){
    ConnectivityManager cm ; 
    NetworkInfo info = null;

    try {
        cm = (ConnectivityManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        info = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();        

    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("connectivity", e.toString());
    }

    if(info != null){
          return info.isConnected();
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}
