You need to you following code in BroadcastReceiver,

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
    System.out.println ( "Application Started" );
    // put your TimerTask calling class here

    try
    {
        Intent myIntent = new Intent ( context, AutoStartExampleActivity.class );
        myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(myIntent);
    }
    catch ( Exception e )
    {
        System.out.println ( " Error while Starting Activity " + e.toString() );
    }
}
