Boot BroadcastReceiver does not work on Xiaomi devices

Question

I have a following BroadcastReceiver which should run after boot completion. I have tested it on my Xiaomi device (Redmi 1s), it's not running, while on other devices like Samsung it's running as expected.

public class DeviceBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "I am Running", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
}

I have set permission in Manifest.

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

And following is my broadcast receiver:

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

I have problem with android 8 xamoi phones with RECEIVE_SMS when app is in background and Receiver is triggred but message is empty. Do have any idea about this? — Mahdi, Apr 20 '19 at 10:53

I searched around the web and found a solution, I've decided to answer my own question. Follow the same code given in the question.

In Xiaomi devices, you just have to add your app to Autostart list, to do so, follow these simple steps given below:

Open Security app on your phone.
Tap on Permissions, it'll show you two options: Autostart and Permissions
Tap on Autostart, it'll show you list of apps with on or off toggle buttons.
Turn on toggle of your app, you're done!

Now, reboot your phone, you'll see a Toast message I am Running

But how to do this automatically ? User isn't going to do this. – Bhavin Patel Feb 25 '17 at 07:09
@bdevloper I also don't know, it's Xiaomi's policy, permission or we can say a security feature for apps. – zeeali Feb 25 '17 at 08:05
