launching application on boot crashes the app

I tried some of the solutions I have found online for launching my activity on boot. Currently I have:

Manifest:

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

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

Main Activity:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

    if ((intent.getAction() != null) && (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")))
    {           

        // Start the service or activity 
        Intent startActivity = new Intent();    
        startActivity.setClassName("org.package_name", "org.package_name.MainActivity");
        startActivity(startActivity);      

    }
}

However, when I boot the phone I get the error that my app was stopped in an unexpected way (i.e. crashes). What am I doing wrong any ideas ? (Testing on Android 2.2, API 8)

Like the answer posted above: it needs permission, and:

startActivity.setClassName("org.package_name", "org.package_name.MainActivity");

Make sure you have declared that Activity public in Manifest file, also please provide a stack trace to see the problem exactly.

An example for the activity declaration in manifest:

    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
    </activity>

Boot completed requires the android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission.

Edit Please write package name with receiver name.

<receiver android:name="org.package_name.App_Receiver">

Intent startActivity = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);    
startActivity(startActivity);
