android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED does not

I have a BootUpReceiver class which I'm attempting to use with RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to launch an Activity when the device boots. The problem is - it does not seem to do so when I launch the app then restart the device.

I have verified there is no issue running Activity1.java - the issue lies either in the Manifest or the BootUpReceiver class but I'm not sure exactly why it will not launch after rebooting.

BootUpReceiver.java:

public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{


 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

     Intent i = new Intent(context, Activity1.class); 
            i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            context.startActivity(i); 

 }
}

Remove android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" and try again.

Beyond that, there is no requirement that your activity appear in front of any other activity that might be started around the same time, such as the home screen.
