Developing a service that starts on boot using the emulator

Question

I am trying to develop a small app that starts on boot for a class. I tried to follow the instructions http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/06/start-service-at-boot/ but I am having problems.

Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<receiver android:name="MyStartupIntentReceiver">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

<service android:name="MyService">
 <intent-filter>
  <action android:name="com.startup.MyService" />
 </intent-filter>
</service>

Receiver

public class Startup extends BroadcastReceiver {
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Intent serviceIntent = new Intent();
     serviceIntent.setAction("com.startup.MyService");
     context.startService(serviceIntent);
  }
}

Service

public class MyService extends Service {
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }

    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        super.onStart(intent, startId);
        while (true)
        {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            try {
                Thread.sleep(2000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

I am testing it by using eclipse to deploy the app to the emulator, closing the emulator, and then opening the same emulator instance via the Android SDK and ADV Manager. I also have the dev option that displays running processes turned on. When I do this, I do not see either anything relevant in the process list and I do not see the messages pop up. What am I doing wrong?
