Broadcast Receiver to detect application start

Question

I want to capture the time whenever a user starts any application using my broadcast receiver. is it possible that a broadcast receiver can catch such an event?? if yes , i

Answer 1

You can't get a broadcast when someone starts any other app. The only thing you can do is start a service that polls and periodically checks if new apps have been started (using Reno's code above for example).

Also if you start this service when the phone starts you have a reasonably good solution.
