You could always leverage the work these guys have done: http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap

-Scroll down to typeahead-

Here is a Plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/9zsrvLLfH8hKGwmIeZVv?p=preview

Here is some markup:

HTML

<div class='container-fluid' ng-controller="TypeaheadCtrl">
    <pre>Model: {{selected| json}}</pre><inputtype="text"ng-model="selected"typeahead="state for state in states | filter:$viewValue"></div>

JS

functionTypeaheadCtrl($scope) {

  $scope.selected = undefined;
  $scope.states = ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Arizona', 'Arkansas', 'California', 'Colorado', 'Connecticut', 'Delaware', 'Florida', 'Georgia', 'Hawaii', 'Idaho', 'Illinois', 'Indiana', 'Iowa', 'Kansas', 'Kentucky', 'Louisiana', 'Maine', 'Maryland', 'Massachusetts', 'Michigan', 'Minnesota', 'Mississippi', 'Missouri', 'Montana', 'Nebraska', 'Nevada', 'New Hampshire', 'New Jersey', 'New Mexico', 'New York', 'North Dakota', 'North Carolina', 'Ohio', 'Oklahoma', 'Oregon', 'Pennsylvania', 'Rhode Island', 'South Carolina', 'South Dakota', 'Tennessee', 'Texas', 'Utah', 'Vermont', 'Virginia', 'Washington', 'West Virginia', 'Wisconsin', 'Wyoming'];
}

Update

It seems like I was focussing on the wrong problem. Try moving the autocomplete call inside the $on handler.

Like this:

app.directive('autoComplete', function($rootScope, locationAutoCompleteService, $timeout, $http, programLocationModel) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        scope: {
            serviceType: '@serviceType'
        },
        link: function(scope, elem, attr, ctrl) {
            var autoItem = [];
            scope.change = function() {
                locationAutoCompleteService.unSubscribe();
                var service = locationAutoCompleteService.getServiceDefinition();
                service.filters.pattern = scope.inputVal;
                locationAutoCompleteService.subscribe();
            };
            scope.$on('myData', function(event, message) {
                if (message !== null && message.results !== null) {
                    autoItem = [];
                    for (var i = 0; i < message.results.length; i++) {
                        autoItem.push({
                            label: message.results[i].name,
                            id: message.results[i].id
                        });
                    }
                    elem.autocomplete({
                        source: autoItem,
                        select: function(event, ui) {
                            $timeout(function() {
                                elem.trigger('input');
                            }, 0);
                        }
                    });
                }
            });
        }
    };
});
