I researched in order to find out the way to make my app do something on device boot. I tried to do the same but it does not seem to work. I tried with several methods but I am finding some unexpected problems. Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.ignacio.dailynotification">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<!-- Keeps the processor from sleeping when a message is received. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".SettingsActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_settings"
android:parentActivityName=".MainActivity">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".MainActivity" />
</activity>
<receiver
android:name=".BootCompletedReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
And here is my broadcast receiver BootCompletedReceiver:
public class BootCompletedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String LOG_TAG = BootCompletedReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
String message = "BootCompletedReceiver onReceive, action is " + action;
Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(LOG_TAG, action);
if(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(action))
{
Toast.makeText(context, "phone restarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(LOG_TAG,"phone restarted");
}
}
}
Now I am getting this output in my logcat when searching for 'bootcompleted':

I think maybe I am getting the broadcast properly received but my app cannot do anything beyond that or so it seems.
Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks in advance for your help.
