Android BOOT_COMPLETED not received when application is closed
android, bootcompleted
Solution
I start my app when the BOOT_COMPLETED, so I know it's working. I add `Log.d` it won't show. I add `Toast` it show. Small differents in Manifest.xml
<receiver android:name="com.example.startuptest.StartUpBootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Problem
I am aware that this question has been asked a lot on the site, however, I cant seem to find a solution. My BOOT_COMPLETED receiver is not called when the application is not running. Manifest: ``` <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.startuptest" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="internalOnly"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.example.startuptest.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <receiver android:name="com.example.startuptest.StartUpBootReceiver" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> </application> </manifest> ``` StartUpBootReceiver: ``` public class StartUpBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.d("startuptest", "StartUpBootReceiver " + intent.getAction()); if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) { Log.d("startuptest", "StartUpBootReceiver BOOT_COMPLETED"); } } } ``` If the application is running and I simulate a call with ``` adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED ``` The event is received correctly, however, if the application is closed the event is not receieved, nor is it received at start up. I have installed the application then launched it a couple of times to make sure it is registered. I'm pretty lost on this one so any advice would be highly appreciated. Edit: I can see in the logs that all the other closed applications (Youtube, FileObserver, etc) receive the boot_completed event, just not mine.
