Is android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED not required?

Question

Does anyone know why my application still receives the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast even when my app doesn\'t have the permission android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_CO

Answer 1

This would appear to be a bug in Android. I can reproduce the problem on ordinary Nexus One and Nexus S hardware. I have filed a bug report on it.
