I am trying to run Android voice recognition as a service. I can verify that the onCreate() and onStart() methods of the service are called, but no callbacks to the speech recognition methods are called, despite the fact that I have set up the SpeechRecognizer object correctly. The speech recognition seems to work when it is done in an activity instead of a service. How do I make it work as a service? Is this a manifest issue?
