Android : Why broadcast receiver is not executing BOOT_COMPLETED and not displaying toast message?

• I am trying a simple example with broadcast receiver registered with action BOOT_COMPLETED... but, application is not giving toast message... I searched a lot.. tried both the ways of registering receiver in manifest.xml and in java code also... but I really don't know what is the problem in it...


• please help me to sort out this issue as i need to start service on boot up..


• thanks in advance..

1) Activity class

public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Boot is completed..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
} 

2) manifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.bootupservicedemoagain"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <receiver android:name="com.example.bootupservicedemoagain.BootReceiver" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>

</manifest>

I have also tried this in activity class onReceive method but same outcome!

if(intent.getAction() != null) 
{
    if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED))
    {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Boot is completed..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}
