I am trying to set up a geofence using LocationManager.addProximityAlert(...), but I get an IllegalArgumentException("pending intent must be targeted to package").

Here is my code:

Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyIntentService.class);
intent.setPackage(context.getPackageName());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

locationManager.addProximityAlert(latitude, longitude, radius, expiration, pendingIntent);

The first thing that LocationManager does is call checkPendingIntent(intent) which calls intent.isTargetedToPackage() which calls ActivityManagerNative.isIntentSenderTargetedToPackage(IIntentSender sender) https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/c80f952/core/java/android/app/ActivityManagerNative.java#4609

The result is false and I get an IllegalArgumentException("pending intent must be targeted to package").

The same thing works fine if I use a BroadcastReceiver instead of an IntentService.

How do I fix this IllegalArgumentException?

P.S. I use LocationManager for devices which don't have Play Services installed. Using IntentService to immediately run some API requests, which may take some time. IntentService is registered in manifest as <service android:name=".MyIntentService" android:exported="false"/>.

Update: here's the code that works with BroadcastReceiver. AndroidManifest:

<receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver" android:exported="false">
 <intent-filter>
 <action android:name="MyBroadcastReceiver.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION"/>
 </intent-filter>
</receiver>

java code:

Intent intent = new Intent("MyBroadcastReceiver.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION");
intent.setPackage(context.getPackageName());
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
