This is a related question to: Android NFC start service
In Android, can an already started service (class that extends Service) receive an Intent when an NDEF tag is scanned?

No, but you can make a minimal activity that receives the NDEF intent and starts a custom service. See also this answer.

No, a service cannot receive an intent from a scanned tag or a received Android Beam message.
