Broadcast Receiver Not Working After Device Reboot in Android

Question

I have already checked all the related questions and have not found any solution for this problem. So this is an absolutely new problem for me.

What I Have

Answer 1

The way IntentFilters work is that each <intent-filter></intent-filter> contains one way of firing up the component. If you have multiple ways of firing it up (like two actions that you want to listen to in one BroadcastReceiver), you'll need an independent <intent-filter></intent-filter> definition for each.

Hence, you can try changing:

<receiver android:name=".mics.BootReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

to:

<receiver android:name=".mics.BootReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

EDIT

If it still doesn't work, you can try to test if your manifest declaration is done correctly. Try executing the following command in your terminal, keeping the test device connected to the computer:

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED -n com.app.myapp/.mics.BootReceiver

If this doesn't work, you should recheck the relative package declaration of the receiver in your manifest file.

EDIT 2

It may sound weird but try following these steps:

• Uninstall the app from your phone (ensure it is uninstalled for all users)
• Reboot your phone
• Clean the project
• Build and run the project in your device again
