  <p>Can we start a service from the application class?</p>
  
  <p>I want to start a service when my application starts. So instead of starting the service from the starting activity, can I use my application class for this? Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>What I tried is Inside application class : </p>
  
  <pre><code>public void onCreate() {
      super.onCreate();
  
  
      Log.i("Logger", "Service Starting");
      Intent errorLoggerService = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
              ErrorLoggerService.class);
      getApplicationContext().startService(errorLoggerService);
  }
  </code></pre>
