I have an IntentService which starts on boot and stays running in the background. There is no launcher Activity, the IntentService is called by a broadcast receiver. It works on 2.3.4 and 4.0.4 devices but not on 4.2.2. Maybe my broadcast receiver isn't being triggered on the device?

RastreadorBroadcastReceiver:

public class RastreadorBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
