This is for broadcast receiver? Thanks! – Ruchir Baronia Feb 04 '16 at 03:36
Just a doubt may be a little off topic but will the alarm set by an app need to be reset after a reboot/restart? Please help I am not very much familiar with Android. – Rajesh K Dec 15 '18 at 11:32
@RajeshK Restart in Broadcast receiver. – Giru Bhai Dec 15 '18 at 12:06

Thanks. But since Android 8 only `BOOT_COMPLETED` broadcast is allowed? How should I solve this issue? Since `QUICKBOOT_POWERON` is not longer allowed. – Rajesh K Dec 15 '18 at 12:08

Is there any reference to QUICKBOOT_POWERON in the official documentation ? I searched but couldn't find one. But it works, I added it myself in the manifest and the code and Android recognized it. – VSim Apr 13 '19 at 16:09
yes, @RajeshK I also desperately need to reregister notifications the user scheduled....or perhaps send notifications from servers to FCM api to have phone reregister daily in case a reboot? I am not sure how to do this as users won't be happy since they scheduled the reminder to go off. – Dean Hiller Aug 11 '20 at 04:13

Is this still useful nowadays to use `android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON` ? If not, from which API ? – android developer Aug 17 '20 at 10:01

Kindly add the below Permission:

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

and add the Receiver Class entry in manifest.zml:

<receiver android:name="com.example.receivers.BootReceiver" >

Now Receiver Class:

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

  private static final String TAG = "Boot Receiver:::";
   /*
    * (non-Javadoc)
    * 
    * @see android.content.BroadcastReceiver#onReceive(android.content.Context,
    * android.content.Intent)
    */
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      if (intent != null) {
        if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(
                Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {

            //Boot Receiver Called
        }
      }
    }
 }

Now Clean and Run your Application. Hope This class will be called after you power on/off or restarting the device. let me know your feedback.

then this will work perfectly.. put log in onReceive.. and test it.. else post your manifest and receiver class — Sivakumar, Jul 22 '14 at 09:22
