You need to listen for the following intent actions in your receiver/service:

<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWEROFF" />

For more info, read this.

Hope this helps. Good luck :)

Have a broadcast listener for

 <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
 <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWEROFF" />

and in onReceive perform logout action

You can also use ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED receiver which will notify when phone booting is completed

Try this!

public class ReceiverForPowerOff extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        //Insert code here for logout
    }

}

In manifest:

<receiver android:name=".ReceiverForPowerOff">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>
