title: Method onHandleIntent() does not get called
body: <p>After many hours of researching I am finally consulting official help. Why does not <code>onHandleIntent()</code> get called? Is there something wrong here?</p>
  
  <p>In main activity <code>onCreate()</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mService = new Intent(context, xyz.class);
  startService(mService);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That iss it. The <code>onStartCommand()</code> gets called, but not <code>onHandleIntent()</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.autoalbumwallaperplus;
  
  import android.app.IntentService;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.widget.Toast;
  
  public class xyz extends IntentService {
      public xyz() {
          super("bmp");
      }
  
      @Override
      public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
          Toast.makeText(this,"onStartCommand works!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
          return super.onStartCommand(intent,flags,startId);
      }
  
      @Override
      protected void onHandleIntent(Intent workIntent) {
          Toast.makeText(this,"onHandleIntent works!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is inside the OnHandleIntent</p>
  
  <pre><code>    String imagepath = workIntent.getStringExtra("String");
      Toast.makeText(this, "it works" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
      WindowManager hi = ((WindowManager) getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE));
      int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
      int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels &lt;&lt; 2;
  
      // ... First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
      final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
      options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
      Bitmap decodedSampleBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagepath, options);
  
      // ... Calculate inSampleSize
      options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, width, height);
  
      // ... Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
      options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
      decodedSampleBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagepath, options);
  
      // ... Set Wallpaper
      //Context context = getApplicationContext();
      WallpaperManager wm = WallpaperManager.getInstance(this);
  
      try {
          wm.setBitmap(decodedSampleBitmap);
      } catch (IOException e) {
      }
  </code></pre>
