Autoshow MainActivity after install

Question

I have a question, is it possible to show MainActivity to user after they install my .apk on their devices? Because I have read that we can't autolaunch our apk after install, but I just need to show my Activity, so is it possible?

Answer 1

You can't auto run your Android application right after the installation.

Maximum that you can do is to listen to android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED intent, and it will work only if the user manually launch your application at least once.

Answer 2

There is no way, you can start a services after installation but no to launch the app. Look this answare to learn more about the problem:
