Suspicious cast to ConnectivityManager

I'm having an error that crashes my app, and it throws this error on eclipse: "Suspicious cast to ConnectivityManager for a CLIPBOARD_SERVICE: expected ClipboardManager"

What should I do??

Error is on the (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); part Here's my code, if it is of any help:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);
        if(isNetworkAvailable()){
            GetBlogPostsTask getBlogPostsTask = new GetBlogPostsTask();
            getBlogPostsTask.execute();
        } 
        else{
            Toast.makeText(this, "Network is unavailable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

        //Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.no_items), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
        ConnectivityManager manager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = manager.getActiveNetworkInfo();

        boolean isAvailable = false;
        if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()){
            isAvailable=true;
        }
        return isAvailable;
    }

EDIT: Problem Solved, just an error from my part when typing, typed CLIPBOARD instead of CONNECTIVITY
