This is not going to work. You can pass data between services using standard android intent mechanism.

Service1:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, Service2.class);
intent.putExtra("call_some_method", true);
startService(intent);

Service2:

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    if(intent != null && intent.getBooleanExtra("call_some_method", false)) {
        Method1();
    }
}
