So I’m having an application with one Activity that does nothing and two Classes that extend BroadcastReceiver, but those are never registered anywhere.

The app has the permission

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

but apart from that nothing is ever “started”.
Nevertheless the application shows up in the threads/ processes in Eclipse’s LogCat after boot and the BroadcastReceivers receive the intents that they filter for.

  • Does Android start every installed app in the background? Why is my app started after boot? – Are BroadcastReceivers active although they were not registered?

I couldnt find anything official for that.

    Your app starts after boot up is because of the permission

    Not every app had this character except for those in which this permission is added
