broadcastreceiver - android.intent.action.ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE what's the use? -

i trying execute onreceive method when android starts can schedule task.

unfortunately onreceive of bradcastreciever called @ boot if install app on root system. thought android.intent.action.action_external_applications_available should fix problem.

but post seems not possible, though in tutorials feasible.

android installlocation , boot_completed

i should infer cannot such thing.

is or there way broadcast @ startup app on sd.

if not possible wonder what's use of android.intent.action.action_external_applications_available

this manifest in case wnat take look. testing on android 2.3.7

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     package="mypackage"     android:installlocation="preferexternal"     android:versioncode="1"     android:versionname="1.0" >      <uses-sdk         android:minsdkversion="9"         android:targetsdkversion="17" />      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.internet" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.access_network_state" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.write_external_storage" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.receive_boot_completed" />      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.vibrate" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.wake_lock" />  .............................              <receiver             android:name="mypackage.mynotificationreceiver"             android:enabled="true"            >             <intent-filter android:priority="1" >                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.boot_completed" />                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.action_external_applications_available" />             </intent-filter>          </receiver>       </application>  </manifest> 

thanks

first have split intent filter this:

<receiver     android:name="mypackage.mynotificationreceiver"     android:enabled="true"     >     <intent-filter android:priority="1" >         <action android:name="android.intent.action.boot_completed" />     </intent-filter>     <intent-filter>         <action android:name="android.intent.action.action_external_applications_available" />     </intent-filter> </receiver> 

every filter should have 1 action. second, question: action_external_applications_available occurs time after boot_completed (the device first completes boot, reads card). why both actions?
