sorry about the delayed response. I don't own the other app, but we need to communicate with each other...these are the requirements I have been given :(
Its not doing anything fancy, just collecting usage data(phone calls, sms, etc). In order to make the data as correct as possible, I would like to make sure to start collection as soon as the app is installed, rather than until the next reboot. I figure out one way of doing this, not sure if this is very clean way. Since the OtherApp will always be installed before MyApp, the manfiest of OtherApp is modified to listen for package_add/remove/ modify of the MyApp, and as soon as it gets this notification, it will start the MyApp service. It works, but i'm not sure if this is a good way. Any thoughts?
