This discussion should go into the Android Developers group. :) But in answer to your question:
Even if you could do it, be sure not to launch an activity at just any moment. Your customers are going to be really mad at you if they are in a phone call or doing some other stuff and suddenly your service presents them with a new screen. Instead, use the Notification bar. User can drag the notification bar down, see your service's notification, click on it and then start your activity.
