Re: [android-developers] Auto-start Application doesn't register BroadcastReceivers and doesn't start Services

Yes... your application is not allowed to do anything until the user has launched it at least once.  I believe that started with Android 4.0... There is nothing you can do about that.

have an Application that starts running as soon as it is installed, i.e. the BroadcastReceivers and Services are register as soon as the Application is installed on the handset. I've removed the action MAIN and category LAUNCHER from the main Activity class. This used to work in the Android OS systems prior to 4.0. But on the Operating Systems 4.0 and above, I'm having to open the main UI/Activity screen at least once after the Application is installed on the handset. Is there something Google changed with regards to their policies?

Thanks
