Make sure to use a service other than the starter service for this.

StartAtBoot relies on an intent that is being sent by the OS. Fast boot on some devices can skip this intent.

"Fast boot"
I'm also looking for the actual machine (ASUS_Z008D) for testing in "Fast boot" mode but I haven't found it yet.

"StartAtBoot" is available. It turned out to be blocked by another app's startup manager and was pre-set to not start when it was turned on. As a result, the "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" broadcast message was not received. Is there a way to handle this?

You cannot do anything if the intent is not broadcasted. You will need to wait for the user to start your app.

Why do you need to run your app at boot? Why aren't you using push notifications?

Why do you need to run your app at boot?
I have written app after the user operates the device to record information passed back to the back end at a fixed time daily for data analysis

Why aren't you using push notifications?
Push notifications are blocked by app's startup manager and can't receive a broadcast message from the "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"

How do I join a message like "FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES"

It is not related and will not help if the BOOT_COMPLETED intent is not sent.

One thing that can help is to add an intent filter to handle the undocumented android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON action.

B4X:

AddReceiverText(yourservice,
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
</intent-filter>)

Is there a way to receive a "BOOT_COMPLETED" broadcast message over a third-party security app?

Your app registers to this intent. You cannot do anything if the OS doesn't send it.
