Unable to start foreground operation from broadcast receiver
I am trying to create a chat head like a button that will appear when someone calls my phone I am facing two problems:
1) the call receiver will only start when the user starts my application, I understand that the new rule and receivers will not start until the application is started, is there a way to start it when the phone starts up?
2) the service that is supposed to start when called does not start (it shows in the log that the method is being called, but the service isnt) I would like to understand why and how to fix it

1) You can set a specific receiver to be notified when the phone turns on by catching the action android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<receiver android:name="com.my.CustomReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
2) Does the inscription on the voice clock work if it is started manually? Any exception?
