1. Check if you have action tag with the name "app.myapp" in service tag in AndroidManifest.xml file.
<service android:name="<your-service-class>" android:process=":remote">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="app.myapp"/>
</intent-filter>
</service>
2. If step one is fine, you should check by uninstalling the application completely and then re-install.
