You just need to start the service on onReceive the class that implements Broadcastreceiver:

import meu.pacote.com.o.servico.MinhaClasseServico;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;

public class MeuBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {    
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, MinhaClasseServico.class);
        context.startService(serviceIntent);
    }
}
