Broadcast receiver is not working in oreo and pie android

Question

Boot broadcast receiver is not working and there is nothing in onReceive()

public class BootReceived extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
        Toast.makeText(context, intent.getAction(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        Log.d("IfWalaBooot", intent.getAction());

        Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        intent1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(intent1);

        Intent tni = new Intent(context, MainService.class);
        tni.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startService(tni);

    }

}

@Pooja when you say that bootreceiver is not working, does it mean [1] you are getting boot complete even but not able to start service or [2] you are not getting boot complete event? From Android-O onward there is restriction on implicit broadcasts. https://developer.android.com/guide/components/broadcasts#android_80 — Ranjan Kumar, Mar 30 '19 at 08:46
@Manoj Perumarath i have registered in manifest as well as in main activity also but nothing is trigger — Pooja Malik, Mar 30 '19 at 08:49
You need to register it in onStart and unregister it in onDestroy. — Tushar Pingale, Mar 30 '19 at 09:00
Yes! so when the activity is visible to the user, you will get the broadcast events — Tushar Pingale, Mar 30 '19 at 09:04
Why do you need to run it in the background? If you want to run something in the background, use Services/ Job Scheduler/ Work Managers instead. — Tushar Pingale, Mar 30 '19 at 09:16

Make sure that you have registered your receiver in Manifest .
Implicit Broadcast Exceptions refer to this link to check if your implicit receiver is in exception list or not.
if not in exception the you can make job scheduler or register your receiver in your code itself .Here is a nice snippet you could refer on It’s time to kiss goodbye to your implicit BroadcastReceivers
