i do it with this code and it works for me:

public class AutoStarter extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
      if("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction()))
      {
         Intent serviceLauncher = new Intent(context, your.class);
         context.startService(serviceLauncher);
      }
    }
}

for testing you can use this in your cmd

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED

Correct. On Android 3.1+, the following types of applications will not run automatically:

Applications that are newly installed
Applications that the user has "force stopped"

Those applications must first manually be started by the user (e.g., launching one of your activities) before they will receive any broadcast Intents again.
