service receiving Null values in an intent

Question

I'm starting a service from the BroadcastReceiver and sending some values from BroadcastReceiver to the service. When I'm trying to retrieve those values in the service, It's giving me null value.

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

starting service from broadcast-

    Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, LatestCallService.class);
    intent.putExtra("from","Internet");
    context.startService(serviceIntent);

retrieving value in service but giving Null-

    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    super.onStart(intent, startId);
    String a= intent.getStringExtra("from");
    Toast.makeText(this, " Name : "+a, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Answer 1

 @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Event", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        intent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
        intent.putExtra("check","done");
        context.startService(intent);
    }

Use the Intent from onReceive method
