I am developing clock Widget application in android, I have one Foreground service which is running in background, but issue is when I update the app, service has been stopped. How to keep service running after app update, I tried ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED and placed in Broadcast Receiver but did not worked, I cant get onReceive call in that particular Receiver.

If you're testing in Android Studio, it might not be firing that broadcast at all. This question/answer gets into it - if you install through adb install you get the broadcast, if you install with Run in AS it doesn't happen.
You basically need to build your app (either Rebuild in the Build menu, or with gradlew assembleDebug on the command line) and then run adb install app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk (or whatever the path is, depends where you're running it) and it should work. I'd recommend putting a log call in your receiver so you can see if it runs or not
Also make sure your receiver has android:exported=true and android:enabled=true in the manifest
