Android Boot Broadcast
Android boot broadcast is a system-wide broadcast that is sent when the device completes the boot process. This broadcast can be received by any application that has the necessary permissions to listen for system broadcasts.
Understanding Android Boot Broadcast
When an Android device is powered on, the boot sequence goes through several stages such as bootloader, kernel initialization, and system services initialization. Once the boot process is completed, the Android system sends out a broadcast message to notify all interested components that the device has finished booting up.
Developers can register a BroadcastReceiver in their app to listen for the boot completion broadcast. This can be useful for starting background services, initializing certain components, or performing any other actions that need to be done after the device has booted up.
Example Code
Here is an example of how to register a BroadcastReceiver to listen for the boot completion broadcast:
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
// Do something when the device has finished booting
Toast.makeText(context, "Device has finished booting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
In the AndroidManifest.xml file, make sure to add the necessary permissions and register the BroadcastReceiver:
<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

In conclusion, Android boot broadcast is a useful feature for developers to listen for system events and perform actions accordingly. By understanding how to register a BroadcastReceiver and handle the boot completion broadcast, developers can enhance the functionality of their apps and improve the user experience.
