android - Reboot receiver is not working in xiaomi phones

Question

Hi We are working on an android application where we are using reboot receiver in which I am starting few services where I am performaning some network operation.

I figured it out that in some android devices like xiaomi etc reboot receiver is not working.

Earlier I got to know that In HTC devices also it does not work so I added one more intent filter to it <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" /> then it started working fine. Now other phones like xiaomi it's still not working.

What I have to set additionally so it works fine in all the devices without asking user to update any settings manually.

<receiver
    android:name="com.xyz.broadcastreceiver.ServiceStarter"
    android:exported="true" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Thanks in advance.

Xiaomi phones running MIUI have a inbuilt startup apps blocker. Maybe that is interfering with your boot receiver.
