Question

i'm a new android developer, and i'm trying to make an application that record audio when i get a specific notification, BUT, when i start the recorder service from my NotificationListenerService, i get a IllegalStateException at at android.media.MediaRecorder.start, i tested my Recorderservice in a regular activity with 2 buttons, and it works perfect, only when it start's from the notification service i get the ERROR.. i have no idea what to do.. some help please?

public class NotificationListener extends NotificationListenerService {
.......
.......
public void onNotificationPosted(StatusBarNotification sbn) {
       EXTRA_TEXT = (String) sbn.getNotification().extras.getCharSequence(Notification.EXTRA_TEXT);
    Log.i("", sbn.toString());
  //  Log.i("","--------------------------");
    if(sbn.getPackageName().equals(PACKAGE_NAME))
    {
        Log.d(TAG, "our notification");

        if(Objects.equals(EXTRA_TEXT, getResources().getString(R.string.notificationText)))
        {
            Log.d("CallRecorder", "OUR NOTIFICATION HERE, starting recording");
            Intent callIntent = new Intent(this, RecordService.class);
            ComponentName name = this.startService(callIntent);
            if (null == name) {
                Log.e("CallRecorder", "startService for RecordService returned null ComponentName");
            } else {
                Log.i("CallRecorder", "startService returned " + name.flattenToString());
            }
        }
     }


    @Override
public void onNotificationRemoved(
        StatusBarNotification sbn) {
        Log.i("","---Notification Removed---");
        Log.i("","--------------------------");
        if ((sbn.getId() == id)) {
        Log.d("CallRecorder", "OUR NOTIFICATION REMOVED, stoping recording");
        Boolean stopped = this.stopService(new Intent(this, RecordService.class));
        Log.i("CallRecorder", "stopService for RecordService returned " + stopped);

    }
}

}

start the service form notification listener

Intent send = new Intent(this, RecordService.class);
                    send.putExtra("RECORD", "start");
                    this.startService(send);

On the Recording Service

public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        Log.i(TAG,"onStartCommand");
        //TODO do something useful
        String data=intent.getStringExtra("RECORD");
        Log.i(TAG, "data==" + data + "");
        if(data!=null){
           // if data is equal to start.do your stuff

        }
       }
