I am aware of the answer here. The solution is to use a broadcast receiver and starting a service inside of it, then registering it in the manifest. The problem is that I am coding in react-native but had to write some native code. I do have a broadcast receiver but its defined inside my ReactContextBaseJavaModule as following:
public class PhonePositionModule extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule { public PhonePositionModule(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) { super(reactContext); BroadcastReceiver phonePositionReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { float[] message = intent.getFloatArrayExtra("message");; PhonePositionModule.this.sendEvent(message); } }; LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getReactApplicationContext()).registerReceiver(phonePositionReceiver, new IntentFilter("PhonePosUpdate")); } What I did is create a new class that extends the broadcast receiver and started the service from there, but I do not like this approach because this means that I am starting a service with two ways (or two different codes).
1) The user starts it by calling a react method:
@ReactMethod public void startService(Promise promise) { String result = "Success"; try { Intent intent = new Intent(PhonePositionService.FOREGROUND); /////// intent.setClass(this.getReactApplicationContext(), PhonePositionService.class); getReactApplicationContext().startService(intent); } catch (Exception e) { promise.reject(e); return; } promise.resolve(result); } 2) It starts after boot up by the custom made broadcast receiver:
public class BootCompletedIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) { Intent pushIntent = new Intent(context, PhonePositionService.class); context.startService(pushIntent); } } } I think this is the reason my app crashes somethings on entery. Is there a way to call startService when boot up rather then creating the additional class like above?

I cannot tell what else is in your code and/or which parts are working and/or which parts are crashing. But your reply to @brandall indicates that you don't care about the crash(es) and just want to use only one Broadcast Receiver. Then, is there a reason why you are not using the same BootCompletedIntentReceiver as the only receiver? Assuming everything is working (or you know how to get them to work), can you just use one receiver and modify the BootCompletedIntentReceiver to filter for PhotoPostUpdate as well, like:
public class BootCompletedIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override //this is your code public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) { Intent pushIntent = new Intent(context, PhonePositionService.class); context.startService(pushIntent); } //this part is added if ("PhonePosUpdate".equals(intent.getAction())) { //below is the same code you are using in phonePositionReceiver float[] message = intent.getFloatArrayExtra("message");; PhonePositionModule.this.sendEvent(message); } } } Or maybe I am misunderstanding the comment/question.

Try this:
public class BootCompletedIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if ("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED".equals(intent.getAction())) { Intent pushIntent = new Intent(context, PhonePositionService.class); pushIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); //New line added context.startService(pushIntent); } } } For broadcast receivers you need to sometimes set up flags, yours maybe is one of those cases.
