I have to develop an Android App that starts a service on boot. I have the privilege of creating even a new service in framework for it. But before that I have two question so this might be possible without going to framework.
Can an app (service only) signed with system keys be launched without an app launcher and start on boot without any activity ?
This is really another way of asking the first question : Can an app signed with system keys start for the very first time with BOOT COMPLETED broadcast intent ? I am aware that this is not possible for apps in user app space
