Hi, Thank you for your reply.
As for the reason for asking this question - I'm trying to find the most robust (future proof) way to implement the BOOT_COMPLETE receiver. And I am really muzzled by the two common ways of implementing the service - one it to specify exported=false, the second is to omit the specification at all. I guess I will go without the second option - not to specify this attribute and to let Android to set the implicit/default value by itself.
