Hello Mike,
I have tested your installation scenario and a service notification control was successfully sent to a service whithin the same installation process that installed the service too. Also, the service installation was launched within another custom action too.
I am not sure why this does not work in your case too. Can you please make sure that your service was successfully installed and started by the moment your control notification custom action was launched? For troubleshooting this you can simply add a message box custom action just before your service control notification action and when the message box is thrown you can check in the system Service Manage that your service was correctly installed and started.
Maybe this helps.
All the best,
Daniel
