title: Android - Trying to test a service on boot (java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial)
body: <p>I've been trying to test a service when a device boots up on android, but I cannot get it to work.
  I'm trying to start it with this command from CMD:</p>
  
  <p>(in ..\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools)</p>
  
  <pre><code>adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <pre><code>adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED -c android.intent.category.HOME -n net.fstab.checkit_android/.MyReceiver
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>AndroidManifest.xml</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;

  <p>my receiver class is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      System.out.println("MyReceiver !!!!");
      Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MioServizio.class);
  
  context.startService(startServiceIntent);
  }
  }

  <p>the answer to my dos command is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] cmp=net.fstab.checkit_android/.MyReceiver }
