Answer 1

This sounds pretty straight forward. Basically, when the phone starts, the Receiver class “MyIntentReceiver” will run. Inside this receiver you can put code based on user preferences to either start the application or do nothing. The toggle would be a CheckBoxPreference in the user preferences.

Let me know if you have any questions.
