How do I start my app on startup?

Question

I tried using the sample code in this link but it seems outdated and it did not work. So what changes do I have to make and to what files to have my app start automatically

Answer 1

The Sean's solution didn't work for me initially (Android 4.2.2). I had to add a dummy activity to the same Android project and run the activity manually on the device at least once. Then the Sean's solution started to work and the BroadcastReceiver was notified after subsequent reboots.
