Answer 1

Yes, call startActivity:

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

     Intent startActivityIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        startActivityIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(startActivityIntent);
    }

Answer 2

Try starting an Activity as opposed to Service:-

Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);

Answer 3

You are using startService() and MainActivity is not a Service. You need to use startActivity() instead.

public class MyBroadcastreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver 
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
    {
        Intent startActivityIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        startActivityIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(startActivityIntent);
    }
}
