start service from BroadcastReceiver as:

public class CamReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT)) {
   Toast.makeText(context, "ACTION_USER_PRESENT",  Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
 context.startService(new Intent(context,ServiceTemplate.class));
}
}
}

In manifest :

<receiver android:name= ".CamReceiver">
           <intent-filter>
             <action android:name="android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT"/>
           </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
