class ContextImpl extends Context {
 ......
    private void validateServiceIntent(Intent service) {
        if (service.getComponent() == null && service.getPackage() == null) {
            if (getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                IllegalArgumentException ex = new IllegalArgumentException(
                        "Service Intent must be explicit: " + service);
                throw ex;
            } else {
                Log.w(TAG, "Implicit intents with startService are not safe: " + service
                        + " " + Debug.getCallers(2, 3));
            }
        }
    }
 ......
}

上面源码中蓝色加粗部分：service.getComponent() == null && service.getPackage() == null

表明通过intent启动service时， 需要指定Intent的ComponentName信息：intent.setComponent(xxx)，或指定Intent的setPackage("包名")，如果两者都没有指定的话将会报以上错误。尤其在framework层启动APP层的service时，如果是隐式启动service，可能会导致系统进程挂掉，出现不断重启的现象。

    Intent intent = new Intent();
    ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(pkgName,serviceName);
    intent.setComponent(componentName);
    context.startService(intent);

Intent mIntent = new Intent();
mIntent.setAction("XXX.XXX.XXX");//Service能够匹配的Action
mIntent.setPackage(pkgName);//应用的包名
context.startService(mIntent);
