IntentService is not being called
===

I am trying to send an Intent from the onCreate in an Activity to start an IntentService.  However the IntentService's onHandleIntent is never being received.  I have tried changing around the Manifest with Intent-filters but nothing seems to be working.  No exceptions are being thrown, but the IntentService is simply not called.

Here is the onCreate

	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
	{
	    
	    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	    setContentView(R.layout.main);
	    db = new TwitterDB(this);
	    String[] columns = new String[1];
	    columns[0] = TwitterDB.TEXT;
	    tAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, 0, null, columns, null, 0); 
	    tweets = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listtwitter);
	    tweets.setAdapter(tAdapter);

	    Intent intent = new Intent(this, SyncService.class);
	    intent.putExtra("action", SyncService.TWITTER_SYNC);
	    this.startService(intent);
	
	}

Here is the creator and onHandleIntent of the IntentService class, I know it is not being called because logcat never shows "Retrieved intent".  The constructor is not called either (There was a log call in there, but I removed it. 

	public SyncService(){
		super("SyncService");
		twitterURI = Uri.parse(TWITTER_URI);
		Log.i("SyncService", "Constructed");
	}

	@Override
	public void onHandleIntent(Intent i){
		int action = i.getIntExtra("action", -1);
		Log.i("SyncService", "Retrieved intent");
		switch (action){
			case TWITTER_SYNC:
				try{
					url = new URL(twitterString);
					conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
					syncTwitterDB();
					conn.disconnect();
				}catch(MalformedURLException e){
					Log.w("SyncService", "Twitter URL is no longer valid.");
					e.printStackTrace();
				}catch(IOException e){
					Log.w("SyncService", "Twitter connection could not be established.");
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
				break;
			default:;
				// invalid request
		}
	}

And here is the Manifest.xml

	<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    	package="com.twitter"
	    android:versionCode="1"
	    android:versionName="1.0" >

	<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
	<application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"				
		     android:label="@string/app_name" >
		<activity
			android:name=".TwitterTwoActivity"
			android:label="@string/app_name" >
			<intent-filter>
				<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

				<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
	        	</intent-filter>
			<service android:name="SyncService"/>
		</activity>
	</application>
	</manifest>
