Hi, I have updated the code. Now service will start automatically after booting.

Great work Martin! I found your source really useful for my app specific use case. However, I didn't find any code to start service automatically after boot is completed.
The code additions below work for me. Can you point out the exact code, if you are handling it differently.

In Manifest.xml add:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

<application
...
<receiver
            android:name=".TrackerBroadcastReceiver"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

Add a TrackerBroadcastReceiver class as below:

package com.marty.track;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class TrackerBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // This method is called when the BroadcastReceiver is receiving
        // an Intent broadcast, which in this case is a power boot completed.
        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
            Intent start = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
            start.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            context.startActivity(start);
        }
    }
}
