How can I receive SMS messages when app is closed?
Following code works fine, but when app is closed, e.g. after reboot, It doesn't work. (Actually, it works just first few minutes after app is closed, Strange...)
My AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true">
<activity ....>
....
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".Receiver" android:exported="true" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter android:priority="1">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
My Receiver.java
public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if(cond)
{
abortBroadcast();
Toast.makeText(context, "Registration Completed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
If you want to continue receiving SMS after your app is closed, you should implement all the stuff relied to SMS receiving in a Service that won't be closing with your application. Refer this sample to do this:

I have created an apps that will receive notifications from firebase thus hoping to start the app service after user boot their phone so that they do not need to manually start the apps again. However, the broadcast receiver seems to just not working.

I have checked the followings
Permission RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED declared and not within tag
receiver tag is being written correctly
Am I doing wrong or still missing something else? Do I have to call it at mainAcitivity which I doubt I should ? Any guidance are much appreciated.
Got the solution and it was a very dumb reason.
I'm using Oppo's phone to test and Oppo has its own Security Manager App where you have to manually allow specific apps to be start up automatically after boot. That's all.
I suspect most android phones has this feature as well thus bear in mind to check whether there is such app and if it does then remind the user to allow the apps in the Security Manager App before they start rebooting their phone and not able to use any service's your App intended to provide.
Hope this helps!
Try this, it worked for me.
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".Broadcast"
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>
I've almost made my sms app, only one bug still remains. When phone receives incoming sms it somehow goes to my app and to default one. I thought that problem was in action of intent, but changing it does nothing. The question is - how to intercept incoming sms and forbid default app to do the same?

SmsReceiver.class
public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) {
*//here I handle sms from pdus*
Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent ()
.putExtra ("address", address)
.putExtra ("body", body)
.setAction ("com.lexzcq.sms_receive_intent");
*//here I'm writing sms to database*
context.sendBroadcast (broadcastIntent);
abortBroadcast ();
}
}
}
If needed - I can provide broadcast receivers from MainActivity.class
P.S. Most weird part - that when I'm sending sms it somehow saves to default app but I didn't broadcast it with SMS_RECEIVED_ACTION.
I install and open it , and reboot my phone , but my receiver did't receive broadcast to start my service and without log.
My phone is Asus LF2 .
How can I start my service in device boot completed?

I find why my app in my phone can't get boot complete broadcast.
There is a Auto-start Manager setting in my Asus Phone.
When I allow my app to Auto-start , my App work fine....
Remove android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" from the <receiver> element.
Try below code
<receiver
android:name=".receivers.RestartReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Android 3.1 or above,if you want to deal with android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED broadcastreceiver.You must pay attention to this:
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1.html#launchcontrols
1.Make sure you have turned on your app after you installed.I think you did it.
2.Check your android mobile device settings: Settings -> Apps -> Your App -> Force Stop.If the Force Stop is turned on,please turn off it.
3.Another point you should check is android:name=".receiver.BootReceiver",be careful of the path,maybe system can not find your BootReceiver.
I am trying to launch my application when I turn my android device on. Currently I have a BroadcastReciever class and a Service class however the app does not seem to launch when I reboot my device.
My BroadCast Receiver Class
public class Bootup extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Reboot completed! Starting your app!!!.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent i = new Intent(context, AutoStart.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startService(i);
}
}
}
My Service class
public class AutoStart extends Service {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}

Could someone point me in the right direction. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Your application needs to be manually run at least once before boot receiver start working, also boot intent might be send after quite some time and maybe even intercepted and killed by other apps. I encountered such behaviour with few third party sms apps.
I'm not entirely sure about this, but try removing the android:exported="false" from the BootBroadcastReceiver. android:exported="false" means no other app can call it, and the system is just as an app in here.
Try using context.startActivity(i); instead of context.startService(i);.
You should correct this line in your BroadCast Receiver Class:
Use: context.startActivity(i);
Instead of: context.startService(i);
I need to write data in to a file ,when system reboots not on boot complete.
i am using broadcast receiver "android.intent.action.REBOOT" Below is my code and manifest files
public class broadcastreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("LOG_TAG","rebooted");
}
manifest file:
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".broadcast"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="com.example.broadcastreceiver.broadcastreceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.REBOOT">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.REBOOT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
but i am not able to write even a log when reboots.
note:i donot want to use Bootcompleted action in broadcast receiver
I can't see why you don't want to use BootCompleted, could you provide your reasons?
There is no other action that will alert your broadcast receiver of the boot. You will have to use BootCompleted.
As a note, I hope you are registering you BroadcastReceiver with the context (since you didn't include that code). If you're not using BootComplete, I don't know what action you've registered to expect your above code to execute.
Add this, to me work, but on new devices, there are no testing.
For example in the recent nexus not working.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
