broadcast receiver doesn't receive intent

Question

I have a simple broadcast receiver that should call a method when a phone is turn on after being powered of or rebooted. but it doesn't receive any calls

  public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)){
        MainActivity.activateMidnightService(true);
        Log.e("myReceiver", "turned on");
    } 
}
}

and I registered it in the manifest

    <receiver
        android:name="hasebou.karim.simplify.MyReceiver"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:permission="android.permission.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Have a look at [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5439320/905349). — Tadej, Jul 16 '14 at 12:33
Do you have an ``, and, if yes, have you run that activity before rebooting? Rajen's answer is at least part of your problem, but you also need to manually run some component of your app, such as launching an activity, before your `BroadcastReceiver` will work. — CommonsWare, Jul 16 '14 at 12:37

remove

android:permission="android.permission.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED"

from receiver tag and add below line outside application tag.

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