Having problem receiving broadcast after reboot?
I have a class receiving the broadcast after reboot like this.
[BroadcastReceiver(Enabled = true, Exported = true, Permission = "RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED")]
[IntentFilter(new string[] { Android.Content.Intent.ActionBootCompleted })]
public class StartupBootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
var startupIntent = new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(StartupService));
Application.Context.StartService(startupIntent);
}
}
The permission in the manifest has set with Boot_Completed
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
When I used the adb command to send the boot broadcast, the receiver didnt' call the receiver.
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED com.jet.pro
Am I got something missing here?
If you have force stopped the app, your app will not receive anymore ActionBootCompleted intents until a user runs your app again or the device is rebooted.
This is a malware respawn prevention to allow users and/or Anti-malware services to disable and uninstall the app without chasing a never ending chain of process starts.
Thus if you are debugging and hit "Stop" in the debugger, the app is killed (forced closed).
shell1> adb shell reboot
shell2> adb logcat | grep FOOBAR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I FOOBAR : ActionBootCompleted
Without starting your app manually after that reboot:
shell1> adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED com.sushihangover.notifysound
shell2> adb logcat | grep FOOBAR
Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED pkg=com.sushihangover.notifysound }
Broadcast completed: result=0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I FOOBAR : ActionBootCompleted
Assuming some log output like this:
[BroadcastReceiver(Name = "com.sushihangover.notifysound.StartUpBootReceiver", Enabled = true, Exported = true, Permission = "RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED")]
[IntentFilter(new string[] { Android.Content.Intent.ActionBootCompleted })]
public class StartupBootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.Info("FOOBAR", "ActionBootCompleted");
}
}
Update: Debug Manifest review:
The only thing that I am manually setting is the ReceiveBootCompleted under the required permissions section. The rest is auto-generated based upon the class attributes:
