Disable my app on startup and load android usually

Question

I have created app which is also a launcher. This app will load app by default on start up. I would like to give user an option to uncheck not run app on startup.

To load the app on start up I am using Boot receiver in manifest and calling the required java file to load the app.

Now How do I override startup if option is unchecked - instead of loading my app it should load the home screen?

Tried this:

  public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver 
  {
 String nostartup= "2";
 @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
   {
    if (nostartup.equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
    {

    Intent i = new Intent(context, main.class);  
    i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    context.startActivity(i);  
    }
    else
    {

    }   
  }
  }

When I restart my tablet I get complete action using prompt gives out other launcher programs with home laucher

How do I go about choosing home launcher?

"To load the app on start up I am using Boot receiver in manifest and calling the required java file to load the app" -- that will not be reliable, as you have no control over when your `BroadcastReceiver` gets control, and so the home screen might still appear on top. — CommonsWare, Mar 07 '13 at 13:25

In the receiver you should check the option.

if its enabled, start your app/activity. if not, just do nothing. and it should go to the homescreen.

It is not going to homescreen instead it is giving complete launcher using prompt? How do I fix this? – TheDevMan Mar 08 '13 at 07:13
