Hi, I am trying to understand how the <android:exported=[true,false]> forks for the BOOT_COMPLETE reciever.
According to the Android Documentation (http://developer.android.com/ intl/fr/guide/topics/manifest/receiver-element.html) the <android:exported=true> indicates that the the receiver can handle messages sent from other sources than the application. The "false", obviously limits the receiver to handle only messages sent by the application or with the same user ID. The SDK documentation also describes the BOOT_COMPLETE as "a protected intent that can only be sent by the system". Nevertheless, most of the working examples still use <android:exported=false> to register the receiver. I understand that the "system" is not the "same application", so I wouldn't expect this to work. Am I missing something?
