I want to start a service after reboot. The problem I have is that this does not happen every time (at least the first 20 minnutes). I have study many questions into stackoverflow and try a number of the provided solutions however sometimes the service does not automaticaly start after reboot.
Also I have to add another parameter this of the foreground service for android versions O and above.
Could someone give me any advice?

Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, myService.class);
serviceIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
ContextCompat.startForegroundService(context,serviceIntent);
} else {
context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
}
}
I also found in a comment here that reciever should be registered into an activity of the application and this is the code in Mainactivity. Do you agree?
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
final ComponentName onBootReceiver = new ComponentName(getApplication().getPackageName(), BootCompletedIntentReceiver.class.getName());
if(getPackageManager().getComponentEnabledSetting(onBootReceiver) != PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED)
getPackageManager().setComponentEnabledSetting(onBootReceiver,PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
..
}

I have an application without any activity but just a receiver. I regiter the receiver and then install the apk using adb. However, I never reach this receiver. Why Do I never reach the receiver (for example while rebooting)?

I think you need to setup RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission, and also configure intent filter to your service like BOOT_COMPLETED, QUICKBOOT_POWERON.
Look at this, they answer explain very well the issue
https://stackoverflow.com/a/46294732/7774671
There are few things missing in the receiver in the manifest. Try this.
<receiver
android:name=".DeviceOwnerReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
A broadcast receiver will not be invoked if it is not registered with an intent. This association receiver / intent can be declared in the manifest using intent filter.
<receiver android:name=".DeviceOwnerReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
I want to auto start my service when device is rebooted.Please do not mark this as duplicate of Question, but solution given there are not working!

But still service is not starting itself on reboot.
I have one more different question:
I have to run my background service in fixed interval of time, So far I have created an AlarmManager inside service itself which is calling same service after some interval, again and again ,How can I achieve "running background service at fixed interval of time in more efficient way?"
Because of restrictions in Android Oreo you can't start services while in the background. source with detailed info
Like the source suggests you should use scheduled jobs instead. The easiest way to manage this is to use a library like android-job or workmanager. Android Job is a much used 3rd party library developed by Evernote, but they've announced support will end when Workmanager, which is still in alpha, has been in production for a while.
I just want to launch activity via Secret Code .
Although , there are many solutions available for this problem but none of them worked for me. It seems like BroadcastReceiver is not listening .
I am using Mi4i MIUI 7.
Here's my code. Please Help!!
MainActivity.java
package com.example.jatin.myapplication2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
I have even tried the below commented code , but that didn't work.
MySecretCodeReceiver.java
package com.example.jatin.myapplication2;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.Toast;
/**

public class MySecretCodeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getAction().equals("android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE")) {
String uri = intent.getDataString();
String sep[] = uri.split("://");
if (sep[1].equalsIgnoreCase("1234"))
{
Intent launchIntent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.example.jatin.myapplication2.MainActivity");
context.startActivity(launchIntent);
}
else if (sep[1].equalsIgnoreCase("5678")) {
Intent launchIntent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("net.one97.paytm");
context.startActivity(launchIntent);
}
// Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
// i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// setResultData(null);
// context.startActivity(i);
}
}
}
I have also tried putting android:host="1234" in manifest ,still not getting desired results

Got it ....
We have to register our MySecretCodeReceiver as a <receiver> within the <application> element in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
And , Its Done. :)
I have a problem with running the service. In the logs there is nothing to see that the service is running. So I don't know that she works. Toast also does not show in MainActivity. I read a lot of posts and none work. How to fix it?
Service

}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// do something when the service is created
}
}
BroadcastReceiver

context.startService(serviceIntent);

You don't have to verify the intent type since the
Receiver is registered with only one intent type(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED). So there is no need to check in the receiver if the intent action is Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.
I think the condition in the receiver is not true and because of that the code that starts your service is not executed.
I want my application to launch browser when boot my tablet but its crashing on boot time. If someone please let me know my mistake? I write nothing in my activity_main.xmle. Its showing me message "unfortunately the application crashed".

separate both classes and fix mainfest like below

write MainActiity
MainActivity {
...}
BootReceiver class
package com.example.BootReciever;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class BootReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent arg1) {
Intent iMainActivity = new Intent(ctx, yourMainActivityClass);
iMainStartActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
ctx.startActivity(iMainActivity);
}
}
At a guess, I'd say it's probably because your manifest specifies .BootReceiver as the receiver, but based on your code the BootReceiver class is nested inside MainActivity. So you either need to move BootReceiver to a top-level class, or change your manifest to specify .MainActivity.BootReceiver as the receiver.
If that doesn't resolve it, please post your logcat so we can see what error is causing the crash.
Use this in the Manifest as receiver section:
<receiver
android:name=".BootReciever"
android:enabled="true"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And take care of Broadcast Receiver class that should be not inner:
package com.example.BootReciever;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class BootReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent arg1) {
Intent iMainActivity = new Intent(ctx, MainActivity.class);
iMainStartActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
ctx.startActivity(iMainActivity);
}
}
Your app starts so quick and doesn't let other important apps to start first I think you should add some delay in your app to start up. like this:
public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
// We can't wait on the main thread as it would be blocked if we wait for too long
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
// Lets wait some time before starting the service to be fair to other processes on startup
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(myIntent);
}
}).start();
}
