Null pointer exception during notification creation

Question

The problem is NullPointerException in notification. Broadcosting receiver class call in Sms_Service:

public static void setMessage(long paramLong)
{        
    myContext.stopService(new Intent(myContext, Sms_Service.class));
    intent = new Intent(myContext, Sms_Service.class);
    myContext.startService(intent);
    ((AlarmManager)myContext.getSystemService("alarm")).set(0,   paramLongPendingIntent.getService(myContext, 0, intent, 0));                   
}

Sms_Service class:

public class Sms_Service extends Service
{
   public static long localObject;
   private MyCounter Timer;
   private FakeYouSharedPreference myBalanceData;
   private DataBaseAdapter myDB;
   private MessageBean mySmsData;
   private Vibrator phoneVibrate;
   private MediaPlayer ringtonePlay;
   private String uri;

public void createNotification()
  {
    int id= R.drawable.ic_sms;
    //SmsManager sm = SmsManager.getDefault();


    NotificationManager localNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); 
    int notifyID = 1;
     android.app.Notification notification = new android.app.Notification(id, this.mySmsData.getNumber() + " : " + this.mySmsData.getBody(),
                System.currentTimeMillis());
    Cursor localCursor = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), null, null, null, "_id DESC");
    Uri localUri = null;
    if (localCursor.moveToFirst())
    {
      String str = localCursor.getString(localCursor.getColumnIndex("thread_id"));
      Log.d("fakeyou", str);
      localUri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/" + str);
    }
    Intent localIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", localUri);
    localIntent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
    PendingIntent localPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, localIntent, 0);
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, this.mySmsData.getNumber(), this.mySmsData.getBody(), localPendingIntent);
    notification.flags = (0x10 | notification.flags);
    notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
    localNotificationManager.notify(notifyID, notification);
  }
@Override
  public IBinder onBind(Intent paramIntent)
  {
    return null;
  }

 @Override
  public void onCreate()
  {
     super.onCreate();
    this.createNotification();

  }

  private class MyCounter extends CountDownTimer
  {

    public MyCounter(long arg2,long arg4)
    {
      super(localObject, arg2);
    }

    public void onFinish()
    {
      if (Sms_Service.this.ringtonePlay != null)
      Sms_Service.this.ringtonePlay.stop();
      Sms_Service.this.stopSelf();
    }

    public void onTick(long paramLong)
    {
    }
  }
}

Error is:

In line 42 of Sms_service.java:

android.app.Notification notification = new android.app.Notification(id, this.mySmsData.getNumber() + " : " + this.mySmsData.getBody(),
            System.currentTimeMillis());

mySmsData is null. You have to initialize this variable.

Please show the part of the Code where you initialized mySmsData. If you really initialized mySmsData, maybe you got the wrong line.

localCursor.moveToFirst() will also throw a NullPointerException if something goes wrong querying the ContentProvider:

Cursor localCursor = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), null, null, null, "_id DESC");

public String getNumber() { return this.number; } public String getBody() { return this.body; }

These are just the Methods of the MessageBean Object... but you don't instantiate the Object! In "onCreate" you have to do something like: this.mySmsData = new MessageBean(); and maybe call this.mySmsData.setNumber("1") or something.
