BroadcastReceiver to handle BOOT COMPLETED events
suggest changeExample below shows how to create a BroadcastReceiver
which is able to receive BOOT_COMPLETED
events. This way, you are able to start a Service
or start an Activity
as soon device was powered up.
Also, you can use BOOT_COMPLETED
events to restore your alarms since they are destroyed when device is powered off.
NOTE: The user needs to have started the application at least once before you can receive the BOOT_COMPLETED
action.
AndroidManifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.example" >
...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
...
<application>
...
<receiver android:name="com.test.example.MyCustomBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<!-- REGISTER TO RECEIVE BOOT_COMPLETED EVENTS -->
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
MyCustomBroadcastReceiver.java
public class MyCustomBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if(action != null) {
if (action.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED) ) {
// TO-DO: Code to handle BOOT COMPLETED EVENT
// TO-DO: I can start an service.. display a notification... start an activity
}
}
}
}
