How to launch Android app on boot

I need to launch my Android app on boot of the OS. Worst case, I can use a 3rd party app like LaunchAfterBoot to achieve this, however I was hoping to get it working using the AndroidManifest settings.

On AndroidSnippets - http://www.androidsnippets.com/autostart-an-application-at-bootup - it gives a way to get this working. I added this to tiapp.xml:

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <manifest android:versionCode="8" android:versionName="1.07">
            <supports-screens android:anyDensity="false"/>
            <application>
                <receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".BootUpReceiver"
                    android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
                    <intent-filter>
                        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                    </intent-filter>
                </receiver>
            </application>
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        </manifest>
    </android>

When the app is built, the auto-generated AndroidManifest.xml looks like so:

<?xml version="1.0" ?><manifest android:versionCode="8" android:versionName="1.07" package="com.navtrak.driver" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <supports-screens android:anyDensity="false"/><uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"/>
 
    <!-- TI_MANIFEST -->
 
    <application android:debuggable="false" android:icon="@drawable/appicon" android:label="Driver" android:name="DriverApplication">
 
        <receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".BootUpReceiver" android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
                    <intent-filter>
                        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
                        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                    </intent-filter>
                </receiver>
 
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:label="Driver" android:name=".DriverActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.Titanium">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
 
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="ti.modules.titanium.map.TiMapActivity"/>
    <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
 
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiActivity"/>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiTranslucentActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"/>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.TiModalActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"/>
        <activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.TiTabActivity"/>
        <activity android:name="ti.modules.titanium.ui.android.TiPreferencesActivity"/>
 
        <service android:exported="false" android:name="org.appcelerator.titanium.analytics.TiAnalyticsService"/>
 
 
    </application>
 
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
 
 
</manifest>

So as you can see, it copied the required settings across correctly, however the app still doesn't start on boot. The second part from the link above says you have to create a BootUpReceiver class:

public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
 
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                Intent i = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);  
                i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                context.startActivity(i);  
        }
 
}

I was hoping that Titanium would handle invoking the intent in the AndroidManifest automatically, but this doesn't seem to be the case. What would it take to get this working?
