Intent Service "No receiver received" when fetching an address
<pre><code>E/FetchAddressIS: No receiver received. There is nowhere to send the results.
</code></pre>

<p>I'm trying to use an intent Service to get a street name from a lastKnownLocation object.  It's throwing a hissy, and I see no reason why.</p>

<p>The code is from Google developers, it was exactly what I needed, except the not working bit.</p>

<p>I've tried (1) changing the package name in Constants, well I needed to do that sure!  But still the error.
I've trawled through my MainActivity to see if I somehow mutate LastKnownLocation, or don't assign it before calling, but it always has a valid value.</p>

<p>So I'm now at a loss, and would love some expert eyes and learning.  Plug and learn instead of plug and pray.</p>

<p>Help me please!  This is my apps last deal breaker issue, geo-coding from gps is a nice little touch for the user.</p>
