How to launch android.intent.action.CALL (to get USSD) code in service?

My Code:

protected void call(String phoneNumber) {
    try {
        startActivityForResult(
            new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL", Uri.parse("tel:"
                + phoneNumber)), 1);
    } catch (Exception eExcept) {
        //this.view.append("\n\n " + "\n" + eExcept.toString());
    }
}

This code does not work, the problem with startActivityForResult().
