Android ServiceTestCase for IntentService

I'm currently writing unit tests for an android application and stumbled into the following issue:

I use the ServiceTestCase to test an IntentService like this:

@Override
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();      
}

public void testService()
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(getSystemContext(), MyIntentService.class);
    super.startService(intent);     
    assertNotNull(getService());        
}

However I noticed that my IntentService is created (means that onCreate is called) but I never receive a call into onHandleIntent(Intent intent)

Has anyone already tested an IntentService with the ServiceTestCase class?

Thanks!
