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);
}
}
