[android help] Null Pointer exception when trying to layout inflate in service

I'm trying to layout Inflate in a service on onCreate with this code:

// ...
public void onCreate() {    
    telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    call = new PhoneCall();

    IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(outgoingIntent);
    registerReceiver(callReceiver, intentFilter);

    final LayoutInflater myInflator = (LayoutInflater) ctext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );        

    onPhoneStatelistener = new PhoneStateListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {

// ...

Here is my log cat:

04-22 02:38:35.324: E/AndroidRuntime(28837): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

I'm just getting a "Null Pointer" error. Any suggestions?
