android package restarted broadcast not working

I am developing an app which needs a broadcast when app opens every time. I had registered the receiver in manifest like this.

<receiver android:name="package.broadcast.example" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_RESTARTED" />
        <data android:scheme="package"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

But i cant able to receive the broadcast. I spent 3 hours on this still i cant find wats the mistake. Can anyone refer me the working example of this broadcast. Thanks.

do u have the following code which extends BroadcastReceiver, if not than try the following code:

         public class AutoConnection extends BroadcastReceiver {

     @Override
     public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if ((intent.getAction() != null)
                && (intent.getAction()
                        .equals("android.intent.action.PACKAGE_RESTARTED"))) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Pacakge Restarted",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


        }
    }

     }

and in android manifest file add the following code:

       <receiver android:name=".AutoConnection" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_RESTARTED" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
