title: In Android, How can I avoid the onStart method from being deprecated?
body: <p>I am having a problem with setting the onStart method in my app. It always has a strikethrough, saying "This method was deprecated in API level 5. I need onStart, not onStartCommand.</p>
  
  <p>How can I resolve this?</p>
  
  <p>MyNotificationService.java</p>
  
  <pre><code>    import android.app.Service;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.IBinder;
  import android.widget.Toast;
  
  public class MyNotificationService extends Service {
  
      @Override
      public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          return null;
      }
  
      @Override
      public void onCreate() {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          super.onCreate();
          Toast.makeText(this, "OnCreate()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
  
      @Override
      public void onDestroy() {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          super.onDestroy();
          Toast.makeText(this, "OnDestroy()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
  
      @Override
      @Deprecated
      public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          super.onStart(intent, startId);
      }
