Solution 2

Added a reciver which handles the power events and start your activity in this 

public class PowerEventReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
                Intent i = new Intent(context, HeliosActivity.class);
                i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                context.startActivity(i);
            }

        }
    }

and add this to your manifest

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

       <receiver android:name="com.RareMediaCompany.Helios.PowerEventReceiver" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

OTHER TIPS

Register a broadcast receiver in your manifest by using broadcast android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED.Then in onReceive() method, you can dome necessary logic work.This will require permission android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED.
