The program continues to work differently each morning. Yesterday morning it worked as desired. This morning there was a delay in starting the service after I rotated the tablet. Why would the Android system restart my service when I lifted and rotated the tablet? My service should have been executing and receiving Sensor values which it would use to turn on the screen.

How is the weather now? Any suggestions for How do to find the bug?

Thanks for the response.
It's a very elusive bug. The code works so many times and fails so few times that I'm not able to come up with a debugging scheme to find out a reason or pattern for the failure.
Do you have any suggestions?

Something I've observed by looking at the logs is that the system restarts my service (passing a null intent to the onStartCommand() method) very soon after I have plugged in the tablet to turn on the screen. How would a bug in my code cause that?

Another observation: the system often restarts my service 5 seconds after the AlarmReceiver is supposed to receive an alarm: at 22:00:05 for an alarm set for 22:00:00.
