Not sure. It may be that you just need to package up the META-INF/
services files.

Are you including those files in the android equivalent of a jar file?
Also if you are merging say jersey-core, jersey-server etc together
you may need to merge the contents of any META-INF/services of the
same name.
Jersey requires those files because they declare components for Jersey
to function. Those files are really just a convention to define
implementations of specific interfaces, the implementations of which
Jersey requires to function correctly. Jersey attempts to class load
those files.
