Answer 1

In your element:

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

2) In your element (be sure to use a fully-qualified [or relative] class name for your BroadcastReceiver):

<receiver android:name="com.example.MyBroadcastReceiver">  
    <intent-filter>  
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />  
    </intent-filter>  
</receiver>

public class MyBroadcastreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
        context.startService(startServiceIntent);
    }
}
