I have an application with widget that monitors battery voltage. The old version has a widget with run at boot setting and it works. It was maded with on old version of B4Android. Now i made minor modification and i build it with B4Android 7.3 and it not run automatically at boot. Now it has a starter module. I set run at boot setting to false and to true in starter module, but nothing helps. Not running at boot. Widget module is the same. I use this attributes in widget service:
B4X: 
#Region  Service Attributes
    #StartAtBoot: True
    #StartCommandReturnValue: android.app.Service.START_STICKY
#End Region
Application is tested on android 7.1.1
Why is that?

Do not use the starter service for this.

You can use any service for this. Just set this setting only to this service.

Note the Comments in the starter tutorial.

Do you mean to delete the starter service? I set starter attributes run at boot to false and widget service run at boot to true. But is not working. Not run at boot. Maybe is needed some setting in manifest editor for android 7 to run in background and run at boot?

Something else bothers me now. When application service start at boot, a message in status bar appear and say that application started and you can view other information about application. But i can not delete this message. If i start the application than message disappear automatically. Why is that?

After a phone boot i get this message and i can't delete it. If i start application once, the message is gone. My app with widget is Battery monitoring 3.

Ok. But in my app to put the widget on screen is optional. If widget is not put on screen, than widget is starting automatically?

No. There is no need to start the widget service manually.....
IF it is placed on the desktop then it will be launched automatically by the launcher-app

If the widget is not on the desktop then the service will not start
