Android 8.0 - Job Intent Service does not run application on bootup

Initially I had Android 7.0 and didn't have any issues using a BroadcastReceiver and service. However with changes to Android 8.0. I needed to switch to a JobIntentService so my application can run on bootup.

I have tried migrating my code to match the JobIntentService but nothing is happening on bootup.
I am unsure whether the reason is because of my service class or my BroadcastReceiver class.

AndroidManifest.xml

    <service android:name=".backgroundService"

                android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"/>

backgroundService.java

    public class backgroundService extends JobIntentService {



        public static final int JOB_ID = 0x01;



        public static void enqueueWork(Context context, Intent work) {

            enqueueWork(context, backgroundService.class, JOB_ID, work);

        }





        @Override

        protected void onHandleWork(@NonNull Intent intent) {



            Toast.makeText(this, "Application and Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(this, Home.class);

            dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

            startActivity(dialogIntent);

        }

    }

startOnBoot.java

    public class startOnBoot extends BroadcastReceiver {

        @Override

        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            if (intent.getAction() != null && intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {

                Log.i("In" , "getAction() - Boot");

                backgroundService.enqueueWork(context, intent);

            }

            else

                Log.i("No" , "Boot");

        }

    }

So I am trying to essentially start the Home.class on bootup.

This doesn't help because with android 8.0 you cannot use implicit broadcast receivers so I am trying to use a job intent service. The link doesn't provide any sort of help?

I think ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED is still accepted on Android 8 stackoverflow.com/questions/45981888/…

Well..I have included this in my manifest as well. Still no luck. Not sure what the issue is.

I tried it and it could run normally. You could check three tips below.

1.Check whether you have declared RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission or not.

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

2.Check whether you have declared the receiver with BOOT_COMPLETED action.

<receiver android:name=".startOnBoot">

    <intent-filter>

        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />

    </intent-filter>

</receiver>

3.Remove Toast.makeText(this, "Application and Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); in your service or toast it in main thread. Otherwise it gives you the error java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't toast on a thread that has not called Looper.prepare().
