I want to create an app in which I need to send SMS to a predefined number after first boot up of Phone. I want to do this without user intervention. i.e I don't want to create launcher icon.For that i am using a Broadcast receiver which will receive "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" event and I can send SMS from this receiver after some duration. This mechanism works fine till Android Version 3.1. I came to know that in later versions A broadcast receiver will not receive an event if Application is not activated at least once. Due to this security measure adopted in Android 3.1+ This mechanism is not working. Can anyone suggest any alternate way to meet my requirement. I am stuck here and not able to proceed. Please help me in this regard. Thanks

Brief Introduction:
BlackBerry Connect allows you to have access to the BlackBerry's push e-mail functions as well as receive BlackBerry Messenger IMs from BlackBerry users. This program does not allow you to send new IMs from your device.
BlackBerry Application Suite (BAS) allows you to run a virtual BlackBerry on your Windows Mobile device. This allows you to access the functions of many BlackBerry applications including BlackBerry Messenger, but is currently being testing on on GSM models.
Now, my main goal is to find someone that can allow BlackBerry Messenger to have full functionality on a Windows Mobile CDMA device. I don't care about any other application.
Can anybody take on this project and succeed? Theoretically it is possible we just need someone with the knowledge to do it.
Who can help out the many that are unable to help themselves?
bump any news on this?

I believe this would require someone at RIM to be involved as you would need a BlackBerry PIN number, which would get you access to their server. There is an app out there which allows you to receive BB messages but other than what has been developed by RIM nothing I am aware of that will allow you to send.
It's not possible on any non-RIM device.
The PIN you get when you sign up for bb-connect is only used an as a means of identifying your account in the RIM provisioning tool.

whats the app that allows you to receive? how does it work? this would be awesome to have on a windows device....all PDA's should have this type of messenging service
Hi, I wanted to develop a system where it has values in MySQL and it will update always. What I want to achieve is when the value fall below certain value, a push notification will send to the android apps. May I know how this can be done? How is the concept like? I know that the push notification can be done by Android Cloud to Device Messaging, how about the MySQL to Android Cloud to Device Messaging?? thx in advance!
well mysql is just databasing...it can not send out information as much as it cant process it. What is updating mysql? W/e that is will be what you need to send out your push messages. As for that there are a few options. mqtt, c2dm(xmpp) or w/e u want really.
actually I want to develop a simple inventory control system desktop app using vb for personal use and it can update the value of the database. When the stock number goes below for example below 20, I want a push notification send to my Android app.. so which part of the system should send the message to the C2DM?
Hi all,
Check out this scenerio and let me know your thoughts.
You know that app.apk is installed as a background service. Via looking into the manifest file you know all the intent filters they are using and all the permissions they are utilizing.
If you want to eavesdrop and intercept the message traffic app.apk generates as it is listening and sending information to its remote server, is that possible? In what ways would go about doing that?
I would think this should be possible via intent filters and Xlistener methods.
Extra info:
The manifest declares the following permissions:
Internet, read phone state, wake lock, receive boot completed, acce fine location, access coarse location, access wifi state, receive sms, read sms, send sms, read contacts, disable keygaurd, persistant activity, vibrate, get tasks, kill background process, restart packages, write settings, call phone, modify audio settings, process outgoing calls.
All of those permissions have an associated intent filter. All of the data is stored in shared preference.
I know that's a scary list of permissions..I'm looking into the possible security flaws of this app in order to make it safer.
Thanks
I'm after the advice of someone who knows about Android permissions and security.
I'd like to make use of this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faradayinstitute&hl=en
That requires these permissions:
This app has access to these permissions:
Your messages
receive text messages (SMS)
Network communication
full network access
view network connections
view Wi-Fi connections
Phone calls
read phone status and identity
Storage
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Microphone
record audio
Your social information
read your contacts
modify your contacts
read call log
write call log
Your accounts
find accounts on the device
System tools
send sticky broadcast
test access to protected storage
Affects battery
control vibration
prevent device from sleeping
Your applications information
run at startup
Audio settings
change your audio settings
But isn't that list of permissions completely OTT? I expressed my concerns to them and received the following reply:
I am writing to update you with regards to your enquiry about the Faraday App. I have been in touch with our developers and they have informed me that although this is a long list it is quite common with Android. They are currently working to see if they can reduce the list, however, there is nothing to worry about since you know the origin of there App, The Faraday Institute, and therefore can easily determine whether you wish to allow access (if it is a source you trust/is reputable etc..). The reason they need access to some parts is simply to add their details to your phone, (access your phone book for example is only to add The Faraday to your contacts).
I hope this answers your query for now. I will update you when I receive more information from the developers. Please feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.
I'm no expert but it doesn't really seem satisfactory - or am I worrying necessarily?

Just a "news" app. Here's the description:
The official application of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. Access news, leading stories of the day, educational resources, and much more, from the institute that is leading research in the understanding of the relation between science and religion.

Any views?
I am planning to create an Android application which will neither have a launcher icon nor application UI. in short it will be a stealth app.
It will run in backgroungd and will perform its task automatically.
No user interaction required. just install it and forget it.
Basically it will collect some logs from a pre-defined directory and will send it via email to a pre-defined email address, without user knowing any thing All this should happen once a day as a pure background prcess.
Can anybody help me as this is going to be my very first Android application and I dont know anything about Android application programming.
