OnHandleIntent() not called in IntentService
<p>I know this question has been asked before, but I've been over all of the answers I could find and still haven't been able to solve the problem.</p>

<p>The issue is that when by BroadcastReceiver starts the IntentService onHandleIntent() isn't called. Weirdly enough the constructor does run (as I can see by the Log output). 
This is my code:</p>

<p><strong>NoLiSeA.class</strong>
(This class contains the BroadcastReceiver that starts my service)</p>

<pre><code>public void toProcess(StatusBarNotification sbn) {  
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(notificationForwarder, new IntentFilter("to_forward"));
    Intent intent = new Intent("to_forward");
    intent.putExtra("sbn", sbn);
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(intent);
    Log.i("NoLiSe.TAG", "toProcess");
}

private BroadcastReceiver notificationForwarder = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            Log.i("NoLiSe.TAG", "BroadCastReceiver.onReceive");
            Intent i = new Intent(context, CoreTwoA.class);
            i.putExtras(intent);
            startService(i);
        }
    }
};
</code></pre>

<p><strong>CoreTwoA.class</strong> 
(This is the IntentService. onHandleIntent() is not called as I can see due to no log text in the console.)</p>

<pre><code>public class CoreTwoA extends IntentService {

   private TextToSpeech mtts;

   public CoreTwoA() {
       super("TheCoreWorker");
       Log.d("source", "exception", new Exception());
       Log.i("CoreTwoA.TAG", "Constructor");
   }

   @Override
   protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
       Log.i("CoreTwoA.TAG", "onHandleIntent");

   }
}
</code></pre>

<p><strong>AndroidManifest.xml</strong></p>

<pre><code>    &lt;service
        android:name=".CoreTwoA"
        android:label="@string/service_name"
        android:exported="false"&gt;
    &lt;/service&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>

<p>So based on discussions below, I was able to narrow down the problem to the following line of code in the BroadCastReceiver:</p>

<pre><code>i.putExtra("sbn", sbn) 
</code></pre>

<p>If I remove it, i.e. add no extras to the intent, then my the onHandleIntent() method in my IntentService does run. </p>

<p>If it is included, onHandleIntent() doesn't run and the following is written to logcat by the Log.d() in the Constructor of my IntentService</p>

<p>Any ideas why passing a StatusBarNotification object, that implements Parcelable, to a IntentService via an Intent doesn't work?
Oddly enough broadcasting the same StatusBarNotfication sbn object from my toProcess() method via an intent (see code) does work.</p>
