Android: Why I am not receiving the BOOT_COMPLETED intent?


I am testing on an physical device (SAMSUNG ACE GT S5830i)

But I am not receiving the BOOT_COMPLETED intent therefore the service is not Receiver is not starting

This is the code I am using.

public class BootCompleteReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static final String TAG = "InfoService.BroadcastReceiver";

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
    Log.e(TAG, "System boot notification received.");
    Intent service = new Intent(context, InfoService.class);
    context.startService(service);
  } else {
    Log.e(TAG, "Intent received: " + intent);
  }
}
}

This is the Manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.appengine.paranoid_android.lost"
  android:versionCode="2"

              android:label="@string/activity_name"
              android:launchMode="singleTask"
              android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <activity android:name=".LockScreen"
              android:label="@string/activity_name"
              android:launchMode="singleInstance"
              android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
    </activity>

    <service android:name=".InfoService"
        android:label="@string/service_name"/>

    <receiver android:name=".BootCompleteReceiver">

        </intent-filter>

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


Solution

  • Try to add the full path with the package for <receiver android:name=".BootCompleteReceiver">

    <receiver android:name="com.appengine.paranoid_android.lost.BootCompleteReceiver">
