Services can log just fine, last I checked.

However, debug-level logging might not be enabled by default. Check out
the documentation for the isLoggable() method in Log:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Log.html

For temporary "what's going on in my service" logging, I tend to use
Log.w() just to avoid such problems. I am sure this runs counter to
convention, but since I don't leave these log statements in the code
very long (and not in anything checked into a repository), I'm happy.
