For security reasons you have to run app at least once after install to get the BroadcastReceiver working.

Read this section: Launch controls on stopped applications http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1.html

  • yes i had run the app and force closed from settings then it wont work or after a reboot it won`t work – kukku Aug 18 '15 at 13:38
  • After force close, app is in StoppedState and before first run. You can't do anything about that, this is new Google politics after Android 3.1. – skrzatswat Aug 18 '15 at 13:48
  • what should i do to run my app after a call received ? – kukku Aug 19 '15 at 11:31
