Hi,

Is the following quote true? There is no other way?


"In platform 4.x, all applications, upon installation, are placed in a "stopped" state. This is the same state that the application winds up in after the user force-stops the app from the Settings application. While in this "stopped" state, the application will not run for any reason, except by a manual launch of an activity. Notably, no BroadcastReceviers will be invoked, regardless of the event for which they have registered, until the user runs the app manually. The usual workflow is when user clicks on your application's icon.

Also, applications installed on the /system partition are not subject to being placed into the "stopped" state after installation.

What is possible is for another application, to detect the installation of our package and launch a dummy activity from the package.
"


Thanks a lot,
