Can't listen to android OS intents. ex.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Mena

I have an android service that runs when i open my app, now I want my android service to run at boot time.

I added these permissions to the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_HEADSET_PLUG"/>

Here's my receiver in the manifest:

<receiver android:name="org.qtproject.example.MyBroadcastReceiver">
  <intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.RECEIVE_HEADSET_PLUG"/>
  </intent-filter>
 </receiver>

And here's MyBroadcastReceiver.java:

import android.os.Bundle;
import org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, org.qtproject.example.MyCustomAppService.class);
        context.startService(startServiceIntent);

    }
}

@Mena And what is the problem?
"Can't listen to android OS intents. ex.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" - does not tell much. What exactly is happening?

@jsulm The service does not start. No errors or anything. I can't see it running on my android phone neither after booting or after plugging a headset.
However, if I start it from my application, it starts and i can see it running in the services on my phone.
