getIntent() method is undefined inside of onStartCommand() method of android service

Question

Does anyone know why my getIntent() method is undefined for the android service and inside of the onStartCommand() method?

   @Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId){
super.onStartCommand(intent, startId, startId);

Intent i = getIntent();
Bundle extras = i.getExtras();
filename = extras.getString("filename");


 return START_STICKY;
}

Answer 1

Because the intent is passed as a parameter of the function...

onStartCommand(Intent intent, ...
    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
