I have created an Android application that should start a service after BOOT. It works just fine on a Nexus 5 phone, but I can not make it work on a Huawei tablet (Mediapad X2). I am using Android 5.0 / API 21.
The manifest has the proper permissions/intents according to the guidelines.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/> <receiver android:name=".BootBroadcast" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true" android:label="BootReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/> </intent-filter> </receiver> I search SO for similar issues (BOOT_COMPLETED not working Android) and have added the QUICKBOOT_POWERON intent, as well as the WAKE_LOCK permission but nothing has changed.
The Broadcast Receiver is just starting the service
public class BootBroadcast extends BroadcastReceiver { private static final String TAG = "GrandUnion-Boot"; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.e(TAG, "Boot_Completed RECEIVED"); try{ context.startService(new Intent(context,MyService.class)); Log.i(TAG, "Boot Completed - start service"); }catch(Exception e){ Log.e(TAG,e.toString()); } } }
