  • If you're so sure it's impossible, then what question is there to answer? Can you post what you have tried? – Brad Jul 24 '12 at 22:19
  • can you please edit your question and add your code – FoamyGuy Jul 24 '12 at 22:27
  • I have this same code in my app and at startup on a Razr XT910 phone with 4.04 android it boots up and starts both my apps just fine. Please add your Manifest xml code and your BootupReciever code – JPM Jul 24 '12 at 22:30

  • please be sure to check the manifest very carefully. AND when running the code, goto Window --> ShowView -->Logcat and tell us if you see any errors there. But first make sure you are getting the BOOT_COMPLETE. You can just issue notification or log to check this. – Code Droid Jul 24 '12 at 22:46
  • Do one thing at a time. Don't try to start a service until you are certain you are receiving the BOOT_COMPLETE. Then make sure you are seeing the log file before you try to connect to service so you can check for errors. – Code Droid Jul 24 '12 at 22:47

You need to register a broadcast receiver for the intent that is broadcast on startup. There is ZERO doubt that this is what you need to do.

See: BroadcastReceiver not receiving BOOT_COMPLETED

You need to do the same. Register a broadcast receiver and first make sure that you are catching the BOOT_COMPLETED event. Then its just a matter of doing a startService.

The problem is most likely in the Manifest. Check that you have exactly the right name for everything. Note the . in names like .MyBroadcastReceiver These are important. Missing just one thing will cause a problem.

Both the Receiver and Service definition must be perfect. Also check logcat and tell us what errors are there.
