Detect when user launches a new application on an Android device - android

I have been trying to detect when the user launches an application on his/her device.
So I found this solution:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/7239840/833219
I added this code inside of a thread. So my application get the log every 3 milliseconds, but I cannot find the difference between logs, so I cannot detect what code is meant for the user's app launching.
Here is an example of the log I got when I add this line:
String w = log.toString();
Log.i("LockService","w ="+w);

Using this code, how can I detect that the user launched an application?

Reading the logs is a horrible idea, and also broken across versions of the system. There is actually a broadcast intent for which you can register here: ACTION_PACKAGE_FIRST_LAUNCH, however, take note that this is only available in API level 12+.

you can detect application launch with tag of ActivityManager in logs.
in log you can find useful data.you can detect run packages.
for example :
06-06 16:09:06.007: I/ActivityManager(1663): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN flg=0x10840000 cmp=com.android.phone/.InCallScreen } from pid -1
it is com.android.phone package and InCallScreen starts for first page.
you can check packages name and detect when your target application launched.

SMS BroadcastReceiver not triggered when phone hasn't been used for a while?

I have an app that registers a BroadcastReceiver in the manifest
<receiver
android:name=".smsprocessing.SmsBroadcastReceiver"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.BROADCAST_SMS">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_DELIVER" />
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_DELIVER_ACTION" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
It has always been working perfectly fine when I'm testing it, but today I tried sending an SMS to a phone with the app installed which I hadn't touched for a few hours. The app has been working fine on this phone before while testing, but I've always tested it with the display on or within a few minutes after locking the screen.
It seems that my BroadcastReceiver wasn't triggered today when I hadn't used the phone for a few hours. The SMS was received and triggered the stock Messaging app, but my BroadcastReceiver was not triggered (or at least, the foreground service I'm starting from onReceive() wasn't started).
The phone in question is a Motorola Moto G running Android 4.4.4.
EDIT
When I connect the phone via USB minutes after it was supposed to have triggered the BroadcastReceiver, I see only two logs related to my app:
10-12 22:33:28.438 1039-1053/? I/ActivityManager: Start proc com.example.myapp for broadcast com.example.myapp/com.example.myapp.smsprocessing.SmsBroadcastReceiver: pid=3554 uid=10230 gids={50230, 3003}
10-12 22:33:28.961 1039-4323/? I/ActivityManager: Process com.example.myapp (pid 3554) has died.
Here is the full log from when (I think) the SMS was received (I have prefixed the above two lines with ###):

MVVMCross 3.5.1 and xamarin android does not work

I have a question: is there somebody that use MVVMCross 3.5.1 with Api level android 21 and xamarin studio 5.9.3? I have a problem: I reference mvvmcross in an android app. I have a splashscreen and a firstview. When I tried to start with emulator I don't have any problem with level 15 emulator but when I tried it with the last version (Api 21) the app after splashscreen is closed without any error (not open the firstview).
Is there a solution?
UPDATE
I tried with logcat. In the following I attached the log:

I found the problem. The problem was the emulator. I tried to change the configuration and now run without problem.

Permission denial causing app crash in Ionic

I have been confused by a random crash in my app since I updated to cordova 5 and started using crosswalk.
This is my logcat:

Android - foreground Activity being killed when background system service scheduling restart by ActivityManager

I have a viewer application, implement with ImageView and ViewPager from Android Compatibility Package. For each page, I render some Bitmap and put them into ViewPager. It works fine, but sometimes the application just crashed without exception nor register dump. I noticed that, normally, the application didn't crash, just log many GC messages. But when system ActivityManager start to schedule restart some background system Service, the application get a big chance to crash when switching between pages.
I searched some questions, but they are about Service being killed because of low memory, restart failed because of state inconsistency, or something. But in my case, It's foreground Activity being killed, just because some system Services were scheduled restart. How could a foreground Activity being killed "by background Service"?
Although in log, the Services seem to restart failed because of low memory, but my Activity just being killed without OutOfMemoryError. I can't figure out what is the real problem caused my application being killed...
PS. If I don't switch between pages, the application lives, but system is scheduling restart Services repeatedly. In this situation, the application is easy to crash when switching between pages.

NullPointerException in background thread when attempting to call messenger

I'm testing a simple Android app that uses a Service, Thread, and Messenger. I noticed when I quickly start and stop the Service I sometimes get a NullPointerException and FORCE CLOSE. I debugged it and found out my Messenger instance is sometimes null and thus my handler does not get called. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to wait before restarting the Service?
OK it just now happened without the quick stop/start of the Service. So I am not sure how to reproduce this problem. It may occur randomly.
I can catch the exception and get rid of the FORCE CLOSE, but that does not solve my problem of my handler not getting called when the Messenger instance is null. I looked at the Services documentation section on Managing the Lifecycle of a Service, and I did not see any mention of having to wait before restarting a Service.
This is how I start my Service:
Intent backgroundService = new Intent(PlayAudio.this, com.marie.mp3player.BackgroundService.class);
backgroundService.putExtra(BackgroundService.EXTRA_MESSENGER, new Messenger(handler));
backgroundService.putExtra(BackgroundService.EXTRA_SONG, song);
startService(backgroundService);
This is how I stop my Service:
Intent backgroundService = new Intent(MP3Player.this, BackgroundService.class);
stopService(backgroundService);
And here is a logcat containing two NullPointerExceptions near the bottom:

It was suggested that I add the code where the NullPointerException occurs. Very important. In fact here's the whole thread where the exception occurs marked with an arrow and stars:
/*
* This is the ServiceWorker thread that calls messenger to pass messages
* and data to the PlayAudio activity.
*/
class ServiceWorker implements Runnable
{
public void run() {
// do background processing here... a simple message for now
// send a message to the handler defined in the PlayAudio
try {
Message msg1 = Message.obtain();
msg1.obj = "Song";
msg1.arg1 = song;
if (messenger == null) Log.e("(Messenger)messenger: ", "NullPointerException");
messenger.send(msg1); // <== *** EXCEPTION OCCURS HERE ***
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// stop the service when done...
// BackgroundService.this.stopSelf();
// Or use the unbindBtn in the MP3Player activity.
}
}
If anyone sees a mistake here that would sometimes cause my Message instance to be null I sure would appreciate an answer.
Marie, assuming that the rest of your service is as in your other question. Here is what happens and causes your NPE.
In onCreate you create and start your thread, but you extract messenger in onStart method. If your worker method executes before onStart, you get NPE. The order of them is random, so sometimes you get NPE and sometimes not.
