I see this has been asked quite a bit, but I can't seem to resolve my problem with what is out there.
My onReceive() method in broadcast receiver isn't being called.
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.app.test"

BootUpReceiver.java
package com.app.test;
public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "TESTAPP_BootUpReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "helllllllllllllllo");
Toast.makeText(context, "boot completed received", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Intent i = new Intent(context, TestActivity.class);
// i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// context.startActivity(i);
}
}
Have tried using the entire path instead of .BootUpReceiver, didn't work. Not seeing anything from logcat or any Toast messages. Going into adb shell and emitting the boot_completed event that way doesn't help as the device then reboots.
Is there anything I am doing wrong? I read something about applications being inactive when device boots, does that affect my problem?
Here are some reference in Android developer website
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html
Broadcast Receivers listening for "boot completed"
The system delivers the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast before the external storage is mounted to the device. If your application is installed on the external storage, it can never receive this broadcast.

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?
My Receiver
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private final String TAG = getClass().getSimpleName();
public BootReceiver() {
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG , "Deyu onReceive " + intent.getAction());
context.startService(new Intent(context, AlarmMessageService.class));
}
}

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;
}
}
my manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

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 have registered a BroadcastReceiver called CheckReceiver:-
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.captchachecker"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="16"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:installLocation="internalOnly"
android:label="#string/app_name"
>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
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=".CheckReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
CheckReceiver code:-
public class CheckReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("Check Receiver", "Captcha Receiver called");
Toast.makeText(context, "Receiver called", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent service = new Intent(context, CheckService.class);
startWakefulService(context, service);
}
}
The problem is that when I press the power button and choose Power off option, BroadcastReceiver is not being called.
If I restart the device using:-
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED
then BroadcastReceiver is being called.
I have read about launching activity atleast once for BroadcastReceiver and launch an activity 2-3 times before checking.
Turns out I had used:-
adb shell pm set-install-location 2
in the past on my device. The app got installed to sd card ignoring:-
android:installLocation="internalOnly"
After I moved the app to phone it started working properly. To move the app to phone go to:-
Settings->Apps->Your app and choose "Move to Phone"
So, if your boot receiver doesn't works. Check:-
Permissions and intent filter in the manifest are declared properly.
App has atleast one activity and it has been launched atleast once by user after installing or after the app is force closed.
App has been installed to internal storage.
So I am trying to develop a custom lockscreen
but my broadcastreceiver won't fire
my manifest :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.alexander.fuchs.lockscreen"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".app"
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=".myreceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
my receiver :
public class myreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("receiver","works");
Toast.makeText(context,"works",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent in=new Intent(context,app.class);
context.startActivity(in);
}
}
the receiver should show me that it is fired :D
but ther aren't any logs in logcat
well , for the screen off and screen on , this cannot be inside the manifest , but only at runtime . see this:
http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/handling-screen-off-and-screen-on-intents/
for the bootup , it must be in the manifest , so something else is wrong with it.check the path of the class. this is surely the cause of the problem.
Hi am trying to start the application on boot. App starts whenever boot completed but application launched and activity screen came to front. I want to start the app on boot but wont get launched. i included the manifest and BootUpReceiver.java .. Thanks.

public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, StartApp.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
I think you would like to start a Service which runs in the background instead of an Activity.
There is a question regarding that issue here.
Could it be that you are testing this on a HTC and have "Fast boot" enabled (Settings -> Power -> Fast boot). In that case no BOOT_COMPLETED will be sent.
Some more information in my question Detect if HTC “Fast boot” is enabled
