This makes sense - so since I ask for receive_boot_completed the system 
checks my intent filter, sees the intent I filter for is "android.intent.
action.BOOT_COMPLETED" and automatically applies this permission to my 
receiver ? So this receiver _requires permission_ and no warning is issued
That is not so straightforward - does it mean that only the system can call 
my receiver ?

I could test in this case yes - but i wanted a general answer on all 
similar intent filters and moreover i have no other app to call my receiver 
from - it's not a quick test

I disagree - I do pay attention to warnings - I want none :)
