I need to start my app at boot.

sadly, it does NOT work for me...

if my app was running when i power off, after the reboot the app results started and running (in background, OK!), but this is the norma behaviuor of my andorid device

if I close it and then I reboot, it does NOT start automatically

#Region  Service Attributes
    #StartAtBoot: True
    #ExcludeFromLibrary: True
#End Region
