BOOT_COMPLETED not calling BroadcastRecevier

Question

I've looked over several post on this site about BOOT_COMPLETED not calling the Broadcast Receiver. I thought my problem was similar to this question BroadcastReceiver not working after BOOT_COMPLETED

However, I'm not trying to capture more than one Intent in one service. I just want the BOOT_COMPLETED action.

Can you look over my code and let me know where and how to fix it?

Here is the Manifest:

    <!-- GCM requires Android SDK version 2.2 (API level 8) or above. -->
    <!--
         The targetSdkVersion is optional, but it's always a good practice
         to target higher versions.

I was using emulators that I created before I installed sdk for Jellybean. I created new Emulators for all the versions and now the program it works in Android 8 and up on the emulator.
