<receiver
android:name=".receiver.StartMyServiceAtBootReceiver"

android:exported="true"
android:label="StartMyServiceAtBootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

package com.aa.gpsdemo;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class StartMyServiceAtBootReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent("com.aa.gpsdemo.BackgroundService");
context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
}
}
BackgroundService.java
package com.aa.gpsdemo;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.StrictMode;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.location.Criteria;
public class BackgroundService extends Service {
private static NewLocationListener mylistner=null;
private final static String TAG = "MainActivity";
private Context context = null;
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
}
mylistner = new NewLocationListener(context);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_MEDIUM);
criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
LocationManager locManager = (LocationManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
String bestProvider=locManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider,1000, 5, mylistner);
}
