BOOT_COMPLETED not working Android

First of all, i know there has been hundreds of this kind of question asked, but i've been checking them all for a while and still couldn't find any solution.

I've seen this answer said BOOT_COMPLETED not send to application unless user launch your application first, after Android version 3.1 But i still see some applications are doing that, there must be a way. I really need to handle it, otherwise i'm also against to do something without user's interaction.

So here's my AndroidManifest:

<manifest ... >

<!-- to be activated service on boot is completed -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<!-- Keeps the processor from sleeping when a message is received. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

<application ... >
    <!-- to receive data when boot completed -->
    <receiver
        android:name="myPackage.BootReceiver"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>

</manifest>

Thanks in advance.

Edit: There is no much thing to see in my broadcastreceiver but to whom required here it is:

package myPackage
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Utils.LogI("BootReceiver", "BootReceiver received!");
    if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
        // Do my stuff
    }
}
}

This below thing worked for me

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

<application>    

    <receiver android:name=".BootCompletedReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

    <service android:name="NotifyingDailyService" >
    </service>

BootCompletedReceiver.class

public class BootCompletedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Log.w("boot_broadcast_poc", "starting service...");
    context.startService(new Intent(context, NotifyingDailyService.class));
}

}

Service.class

 public class NotifyingDailyService extends Service {

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent pIntent, int flags, int startId) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Toast.makeText(this, "NotifyingDailyService", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Log.i("com.example.bootbroadcastpoc","NotifyingDailyService");

    return super.onStartCommand(pIntent, flags, startId);
}
}
