Re: [android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

Review the components section here

You are confusing a BroadcastReceiver with an Activity, and there's
nothing you can add to the manifest to correct that since an activity
tag can't describe or invoke a receiver. If you want to launch something
at boot, then code a receiver that launches the app.
