Error in the start of my android application in the boot

Question

I m developing an android application which should start in the boot of android.

For that, I added the following line in the AndroidManifest.xml

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

and

<receiver android:name=".AppBroadcastReceiver">
    <intent-filter >
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

And I created a new file (new class):

public class AppBroadCastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)){
            Intent i = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
            i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            context.startService(i);
        }
    }

}

But when I boot my android system, I remarked that my application start but it directelly crashs

How to fix these problems?

EDIT

Here after the crash logs:

There is a typo in your code. Try to replace following code

<receiver android:name=".AppBroadcastReceiver">

with

<receiver android:name=".AppBroadCastReceiver">

For your information, touching on the screen is nothing to do with starting your service when the system finished booting.

UPDATED:

<receiver android:name="com.example.openafreerdp.receiver.AppBroadCastReceiver">

@MOHAMED Could you post the whole AndroidManifest.xml file? – sam Dec 26 '14 at 17:41
AndroidManifest.xml added in the question – MOHAMED Dec 26 '14 at 17:45
you are missing a word "receiver" between openafreerdp and AppBroadcastReceiver. Also, please change 'c' to 'C' in AppBroadcastReceiver. Read the logcat error message more carefully. – sam Dec 26 '14 at 17:50
Sorry I did not see your first remark concerning the typo. That's the problem. Thank you for your help!! – MOHAMED Dec 26 '14 at 17:51
