Are you sure?
Some apps takes some time to start on system booting.
Once happened to me, it last even 5 minutes to start my service from system ask for PIN (this is the event I consider as the system boot ending).

Apk does not start...do i need to put any code to Manifest Editor or any code somewhere in module?

I just change from False to True in above code and apk does not start..i have waiting 5minutes and apk does not start.

You should use a different service, not the starter service.

Make sure not to kill your app from the recent apps list as it will not start automatically. And you should of course run it in release mode.

you dont know how to enable in starter. so in result you KNOW how to enable it in any other service.

What is the question then?

Create another service, not Starter, and set it to StartAtBoot, and be sure you run on release mode, as @Erel said.

See Post #1

You need to manually start the service once (from your app).

For any further Service-Information see the Service tutorials or search the forum.
