I have created a service which i am calling through MainActivity.kt by sending an intent. I have declared the service in the ActivityManifest.xml under application but still i am getting the below error. Can anybody help me with this

I am sending the intent like this: startActivity(Intent(this@MainActivity, FloatingWindowApp::class.java))

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.windowmanager, PID: 12897
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.example.windowmanager/com.example.windowmanager.FloatingWindowApp}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?
at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult(Instrumentation.java:2065)
at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java:1727)
at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:5314)
at androidx.activity.ComponentActivity.startActivityForResult(ComponentActivity.kt:704)

My AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
        android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.WindowManager"
        tools:targetApi="31">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.WindowManager">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <service android:name=".FloatingWindowApp"
            tools:ignore = "Instantiable"/>

    </application>

</manifest>

I have tried declaring the service file in the ActivityManifest.xml under the parent application but still I am getting the same. It is expected that this error doesn’t come
