Receiver stopped receiving in Oreo

Question

I understand services and such are being clamped down on, so my receiver has stopped working in Android Oreo.

I have this code starting the service -

Answer 1

Since Android Oreo, receivers must be registered in runtime using context.registerReceiver(receiver, intentFilter); to receive implicit intents

You can still receive explicit intents and some special implicit actions, as boot_completed or locale_changed for example

Answer 2

create your intent than pass in method

 sendImplicitBroadcast(this,new Intent(IntentActions.ACTION_APP_CREATE));

Static Method

public static void sendImplicitBroadcast(Context ctxt, Intent i) {
    PackageManager pm=ctxt.getPackageManager();
    List<ResolveInfo> matches=pm.queryBroadcastReceivers(i, 0);

    for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : matches) {
        Intent explicit=new Intent(i);
        ComponentName cn=
                new ComponentName(resolveInfo.activityInfo.applicationInfo.packageName,
                        resolveInfo.activityInfo.name);

        explicit.setComponent(cn);
        ctxt.sendBroadcast(explicit);
    }
}
