Use adb logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS perspective in Eclipse to examine
LogCat and look at the stack trace associated with your exception.
Also, I am not aware of any practical use for getBaseContext(). Just
call stopService() directly -- your Activity (the thing you are
calling getBaseContext() on) *is* a Context.
