Yes because the apps on SD card are not mounted by the time the boot completed broadcast is sent.
The restrictions, including BOOT_COMPLETED, are documented here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html <http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html>Note that it should be clear by this that the feature is *not* intended for use by most applications. The target for it is really large games or other large applications that are self-contained and don't interact with other parts of the system. The fact that the app can disappear at any point in order to transfer data with the SD card is limiting in what it makes sense for such apps to do.
