From everything I've seen on Stack Exchange and elsewhere, I have everything set up correctly to start an IntentService when Android OS boots. Unfortunately it is not starting on boot, and I'm not getting any errors. Maybe the experts can help...
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.phx.batterylogger"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0"
android:installLocation="internalOnly">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BATTERY_STATS" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<service android:name=".BatteryLogger"/>
<receiver android:name=".StartupIntentReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
BroadcastReceiver for Startup:
package com.phx.batterylogger;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class StartupIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, BatteryLogger.class);
context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
}
UPDATE: I tried just about all of the suggestions below, and I added logging such as Log.v("BatteryLogger", "Got to onReceive, about to start service"); to the onReceive handler of the StartupIntentReceiver, and nothing is ever logged. So it isn't even making it to the BroadcastReceiver.
I think I'm deploying the APK and testing correctly, just running Debug in Eclipse and the console says it successfully installs it to my Xoom tablet at \BatteryLogger\bin\BatteryLogger.apk. Then to test, I reboot the tablet and then look at the logs in DDMS and check the Running Services in the OS settings. Does this all sound correct, or am I missing something? Again, any help is much appreciated.
Well here is a complete example of an AutoStart Application
AndroidManifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="pack.saltriver" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity android:name=".hello"></activity>
<service android:enabled="true" android:name=".service" />
</application>
</manifest>
autostart.java
public class autostart extends BroadcastReceiver
{
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(context,service.class);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
context.startForegroundService(intent);
} else {
context.startService(intent);
}
Log.i("Autostart", "started");
}
}
service.java
public class service extends Service
{
private static final String TAG = "MyService";
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy");
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid)
{
Intent intents = new Intent(getBaseContext(),hello.class);
intents.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intents);
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onStart");
}
}
hello.java - This will pop-up everytime you start the device after executing the Applicaton once.
public class hello extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Hello........", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Following should work. I have verified. May be your problem is somewhere else.
Receiver:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(arg1.getAction())) {
Log.d("TAG", "MyReceiver");
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, Test1Service.class);
context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
}
}
Service:
public class Test1Service extends Service {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.d("TAG", "Service created.");
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.d("TAG", "Service started.");
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
Log.d("TAG", "Service started.");
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
}
Manifest:

Your Service may be getting shut down before it completes due to the device going to sleep after booting. You need to obtain a wake lock first. Luckily, the Support library gives us a class to do this:
public class SimpleWakefulReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// This is the Intent to deliver to our service.
Intent service = new Intent(context, SimpleWakefulService.class);
// Start the service, keeping the device awake while it is launching.
Log.i("SimpleWakefulReceiver", "Starting service # " + SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
startWakefulService(context, service);
}
}
then, in your Service, make sure to release the wake lock:
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
// At this point SimpleWakefulReceiver is still holding a wake lock
// for us. We can do whatever we need to here and then tell it that
// it can release the wakelock.
...
Log.i("SimpleWakefulReceiver", "Completed service # " + SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
SimpleWakefulReceiver.completeWakefulIntent(intent);
}
Don't forget to add the WAKE_LOCK permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
I have found a way to make your application run well when the device reboots, please follow the steps below to be successful.
AndroidManifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="pack.saltriver" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".UIBootReceiver" android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".class_Service" />
</application>
</manifest>
UIBootReceiver
public class UIBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "UIBootReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1)
{
Toast.makeText(context, "started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(context,class_Service.class);
context.startService(intent);
}
}
This is asking permission to not need to manage battery saving for this app so you can run in the background stably.
Declare this code in onCreate () of MainActivity class:
Intent myIntent = new Intent();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
{
myIntent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
myIntent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" +
DeviceMovingSpeed.this.getPackageName()));
}
startActivity(myIntent);
Looks very similar to mine but I use the full package name for the receiver:
<receiver android:name=".StartupIntentReceiver">
I have:
<receiver android:name="com.your.package.AutoStart">
I've had success without the full package, do you know where the call chain is getting interrupted? If you debug with Log()'s, at what point does it no longer work?
I think it may be in your IntentService, this all looks fine.
Just to make searching easier, as mentioned in comments, this is not possible since 3.1

I'm currently working on a simple android app. The idea is, it changes the wallpaper automatically after 12 A.M or when the date is changed. It's working on android Oreo and lower versions, however, it doesn't work on android 9(Pie). However, if I change the date manually from the setting of the phone, it calls the broadcast. I have googled a lot, and some suggested to register the broadcast on your java codes instead of Manifest. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
I have tested this question in Stackoverflow.
First of all, changing the date is not part of implicit broadcasts, secondly, I assumed it is. then I changed the codes but it didn't work.
Now I'm gonna provide some codes of my broadcast:
DailyBroadcastReceiverService
public class DailyBroadcastReceiverService extends Service {
private BroadcastReceiver dailyZekrBr;
private Context context;
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
registerDailyZekrReceiver();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
unregisterReceiver(dailyZekrBr);
dailyZekrBr = null;
}
private void registerDailyZekrReceiver() {
context= this.getApplicationContext();
Log.d("Register", "onStart: Now gonna register the broadcast receiver on Daily Boadcast receiver");
dailyZekrBr = new DailyZekrBroadcastReceiver();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
filter.addAction("android.intent.action.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED");
filter.addAction("android.intent.action.TIME_SET");
filter.addAction("android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED");
filter.addAction("android.intent.action.TIMEZONE_CHANGED");
this.registerReceiver(dailyZekrBr, filter);
}
}
DailyZekrBroadcastReceiver
public class DailyZekrBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("DailyZekrBroadcast", "onReceive:The broadcast is called ");
DailyZekrHandler.setTodayImage(context);
}
}
setTodayImage
public static void setTodayImage(Context context) {
int todayImage = DailyZekrHandler.nameOfTheWeek();
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
WindowManager window = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
window.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
Log.d("DailyZekrBroadCast", "trying to change imge: " + todayImage);
if(todayImage != DailyZekrHandler.getTodayImage(context)) {
DailyZekrHandler.storeTodayImage(context);
Bitmap tempbitMap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), todayImage);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(tempbitMap, metrics.widthPixels, metrics.heightPixels, true);
WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(context);
wallpaperManager.setWallpaperOffsetSteps(1, 1);
wallpaperManager.suggestDesiredDimensions(metrics.widthPixels, metrics.heightPixels);
try {
wallpaperManager.setBitmap(bitmap);
Log.d("DailyZekrBroadCast", "today_image: " + todayImage);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

I'm having issues getting code to run on boot, I've downloaded the source for an example that should work, but it doesn't. according to the example, it should produce a toast when the phones turned on, but it doesn't happen, I've tested on android 6.0 and 7.0.
any help is appreciated thanks.
The code is as follows:

// do something when the service is created
}
}
I really wouldn't recommend doing UI stuff on a worker thread (service). While it can be done, it generates confusion for the user to receive a message outside an app context.
Having said that, if you need to do this you should be running UI code on the UI thread.
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
My LocalBroadcastManager callback function dosen' receive messeges. Can someone tell my why?
I try to do it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (4.1.2 -Jelly Bean, API 16).
SenderClass:
public static final String BROADCAST = "com.android.SOME_BROADCAST";
private Context context;
public SenderClass(Context context) {
this.context = context;
//...
Intent intent = new Intent(BROADCAST);
//intent.putExtra(EXTRA_SOMEEXTRA, "some extra");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).sendBroadcast(intent);
//just to keep it simple i do it here
}
MainActivity
private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "onReceive"); //this is never called!
}
};
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume()");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(
broadcastReceiver,
new IntentFilter(SenderClass.BROADCAST)
);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d(TAG, "onPause()");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver);
}
edit: here the manifest

Try this step:-
Register your broadcast in onCreate and Unregister broadcast in onDestroy of Activity.
Thanks,
It may helpful for you.
I am trying to catch a bluetooth device disconnection intent filter.
I added a log to the onReceive but it never reaches it and is not displayed in the logcat.
I suspect that the problem is with my manifest.xml configuration:
manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.company"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<receiver android:name="com.company.MyReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.adapter.action.CONNECTION_STATE_CHANGED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.adapter.action.DISCOVERY_STARTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity
android:name=".BTActivity"
android:label="BTActivity" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver:
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("got-in", "got-in-");
// String action = intent.getAction();
BluetoothDevice device = intent
.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
Log.i("disconnect", device.getName());
Intent i = new Intent(context, BTActivity.class);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("deviceName", device.getName());
intent.putExtras(b); // Put your id to your next Intent
context.startActivity(i);
// finish();
}
Use this code for receiving a disconnect (when Bluetooth is still turned on):
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECT_REQUESTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED" />
</intent-filter>
Also you have to register a service that then registers a broadcast receiver for Bluetooth status change, so your app knows when Bluetooth was turned off and therefore discards all active devices, as you won't receive a ACL_DISCONNECT when Bluetooth is simply turned off.
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED);
registerReceiver(bluetoothTurnedOnOff, filter);
return START_STICKY;
}
private final BroadcastReceiver bluetoothTurnedOnOff = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getIntExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_STATE, -1) == BluetoothAdapter.STATE_OFF) {
[...]
For new users. it will works . Your manifest file looks
<receiver android:name="(package name).BluetoothReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
and your receiver will look like
else if (intent.getAction().equals(`enter code here`
BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_DISCONNECTED)) {
// connection lost
Try removing the <category .../> from the intent-filter and try again.
Try android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED action in intent filter. It should solve your problem.
I'm trying to use a BroadcastReceiver for the action in the title.
I've created 2 class :
1) An Activity that register my BroadcastReceiver.
2) A class that extended BroadcastReceiver and override the onReceive method.
The Manifest does not contain any error apparently, so i decide to post it here, with the two class also.
Thanks for the attention.
P.S = I'm not english, so sorry if my questions have any grammar mistakes ;)

The action that you match in your BroadcastReceiver should be android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED, not just the last part.
