Hi,

I'm attempting to initiate an outgoing call from inside a Service.

In onStart(), I create an ACTION_CALL Intent, then attempt to start an
Activity

         myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" +
phoneNumber));

         initiateCall.startActivityForResult(myIntent,
CALL_SETUP_ACTIVITY_ID);

However, when I run the code I get a NullPointerException.  Clearly,
the intent and activity are non-null, so I'm wondering what Android is
lacking here.

Don't know where to go from here...

</manifest>

Any ideas appreciated.
