as mentioned here , when the screen goes off, the onStop() of current Activity will be called. I need to check the screen on/off status when the onStop() of my Activity is called. so I have registered a BroadcastReceiver for these actions( ACTION_SCREEN_ON AND ACTION_SCREEN_OFF ) to record the current on/off status(and they work properly, I have logged!). but when I turn off the screen and check the on/off status in the onStop , it says the screen is on. why? I think the receiver must receive the ACTION_SCREEN_OFF before onStop is called so what's wrong? You can try to use PowerManager system

How do i set my application as startup application, so when ever mobile restarts or turned ON, my application starts. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.installedapps22" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" /> <application android:icon="@drawable/cherry_icon" android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action

I have my main activity that start a service (Location service) and I want that service to broadcast the new location each time a new location is found.

I'm working on a notification based app, for which I need to listen to incoming notifications. I've been able to listen to incoming calls, SMS, mail etc. I have no clue how to listen for pings or messages from friends on Whatsapp via code. Can this actually be done? If so, how? Can Accessibility Service be used for this, using Package Name as "com.whatsapp"? I was able to do this using Accessibility Service . Using this, you can listen to all notification on the notification bar. I listened to application-specification by adding the package name to the Accessibility Service service info ,
