Here is the manifest entry for one of my receivers that is working:
<receiver
android:enabled="true"
android:name=".receivers.StartupReceiver"
android:label="@string/app_notify_boot_label"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Also, I wouldn't hardcode the BootCompleted string like you are currently
doing in your receiver... If you really want to check the action like that
I would use this:
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)
If the Android devs decide to change the underlying string in a future SDK
release you will be SOL. But by checking against this public variable in
Intent you will always be safe.
