I'm trying to start my kivy app's service on bootup.
I'm sure that my service is ok because it works when I start my app. But on bootup I have a problem.
I've read this article and tried to make it:
package net.saband.myapp; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.Context; import org.kivy.android.PythonActivity; public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Intent ix = new Intent(context, PythonActivity.class); ix.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); context.startActivity(ix); } } It works but starts the app but not the service. So I've studied some questions on StackOverflow and changed my code for this:
package net.saband.myapp; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.Context; import net.saband.myapp.ServiceMyservice; public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Intent ix = new Intent(context, ServiceMyservice.class); ix.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); context.startService(ix); } } ... and got an error:

Thanks!
UPDATED
By request of @Juggernaut I add my service code:
from time import sleep if __name__ == '__main__': while True: print "myapp service" sleep(5) It works when I run app because app calls the service:
def __start_service(self): if platform == 'android': service = autoclass('net.saband.myapp.ServiceMyservice') mActivity = autoclass('org.kivy.android.PythonActivity').mActivity argument = '' service.start(mActivity, argument) 1 Answers

It seems that Service or Activity that you try to start is not initialized. You didn't paste your AndroidManifest, so I'll write what it's supposed to have.
The first thing is that you should have permission added to run on boot:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/> The second thing is that you should define your receiver in Manifest:
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver" android:enabled="false"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/> </intent-filter> </receiver> The third thing is that you should define your service or activity you try to start, e.g:
<activity android:name=".PythonActivity" /> <service android:name=".ServiceMyservice" android:exported="false"/>
