Sample auto start on boot

sample from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6391902/how-do-i-start-my-app-on-startup

First, you need the permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:

Also, in yourAndroidManifest.xml, define your service and listen for the BOOT_COMPLETED action:

Then you need to define the receiver that will get the BOOT_COMPLETED action and start your service.

public class StartMyServiceAtBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
        Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
        context.startService(serviceIntent);
    }
}

} And now your service should be running when the phone starts up.
