The StartAtBoot service will run if the app is ran at least once, it works using USB because after installing it runs.

Unless the app runs at least once, this is a security feature in Android to prevent malicious software execution.

Then how to hide an app icon and start the app and the next time only start the service and not the activity?
Any idea ?

I don't know what are you trying to accomplish, but once again, that service will not run unless the app runs at least once, you could create a widget instead, when the user adds the widget then the service will start, but if your intention is to hide an app and run it silently then it won't work.

How did you create a service in the beginning ?
A service can not run without being called.
didn't test it, but try making a small app that calls the service, then make it run at boot just to call the service and then kill it.
good luck.
