Burnt out engine bearings or a faulty oil pressure sending unit on the engine. Have the oi pressure confirmed by a shop with a special mechanical test gauge.

If you brought your car to Honda for service, they probably forgot to reset the maintenance reminder. If you took it to another shop, they probably did not know how to reset it. Anyway, the reset procedure is:

Put your key in the ignition
Turn the key to the II position for a couple of seconds
Then turn the key to the off position
Now push and hold in the odometer reset button
While still holding the odometer reset button, turn the key back to the II position
Hold for I think 10 seconds or so and your maintenance reminder light should reset it self.

SOURCE: 2006 Honda Accord was serviced but oil life light

It means they didn't reset the oil change light. It means it's 17 miles past due and counting.
To reset, hold down the reset button for about ten seconds until everything in the display starts flashing.
Then while it's still flashing, hold down the reset button again for ten more seconds until the oil life says 100%.

Then, your all done. :)

My Honda Accord Ex 1996 Model automatic transmission is experiencing shortage of engine oil 4 weeks after servicing or changing the oil

How low was it?

Have you seen any leaks on the ground?

Here is what I would do. Fill up the oil so it reads full on the dipstick. Drive it for a couple of days and then check the oil level. If its down a half a quart or more than you have a serious issue and more than likely an external leak. If it is leaking that ba than it should be fairly obvious where the leak is coming from and a visual inspection under the hood and under the car should reveal the source of the leak.

Had oil changed and an oil sensor replaced yesterday. today oil light flashes when slowing down.

Typically that means the oil is low (since it moves with the car, when you're breaking the oil is going to the front of the pan, and being low enough this causes the sensor to detect a lack of oil).
Check the oil level

Is your oil level good, did you check it again??
Your oil pump circulates oil through out the engine while it's running. If it fails, your destroy the engine. This may only take minutes. You should get an external oil pressure gauge hooked up to it to see if the oil pressure is good. Any good shop or garage should be able to do this.
