Как получить контекст в классе службы Android

Я получаю следующую ошибку, когда пытаюсь прочитать XML-файл из памяти в объект. Похоже, проблема с получением контекста. Может ли кто-нибудь сказать мне, что не так с моим кодом?

Код:

public class WifiScanning extends Service {

private static final String TAG = "WifiScanning";
private Timer timer;
public int refreshRate;

public WifiScanning() {
    super();
    Configuration config = new Configuration();
    SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); 
    SAXParser sp;
    XMLReader xr = null; 
    DataHandler dataHandler = null;
    try {
        sp = spf.newSAXParser();
        xr = sp.getXMLReader();
        dataHandler = new DataHandler(); 
        xr.setContentHandler(dataHandler); 


        xr.parse(new InputSource(this.openFileInput("config.xml")));
    } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SAXException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 

    config = dataHandler.getConfig();
    refreshRate = Integer.parseInt(config.getMapRefreshRate());
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

private TimerTask updateTask = new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        Log.i(TAG, "Timer task doing work");
    }
};

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Log.i(TAG, "Service creating");

    timer = new Timer("TweetCollectorTimer");
    Log.i(TAG, "Refresh Rate: "+ String.valueOf(refreshRate));
    timer.schedule(updateTask, 0, 3000L);

}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    Log.i(TAG, "Service destroying");

    if (timer != null){
        timer.cancel();
        timer.purge();
        timer = null;
    }
}

public void onStop() {
    Log.i(TAG, "Service destroying");
    if (timer != null){
        timer.cancel();
        timer.purge();
        timer = null;
    }
}
}
