Open Android App from Dialer

I have implemented a Broadcast Receiver to open my app from the launcher. The number to open is #1234#

Now it works perfectly in some devices while it doesn't in some. Now my question is how is this even possible?

If it works, then it should work in all devices isn't it? Also I need suggestions on what would be the best practice to ensure that it works on all devices.

Thanks.

Yes it is pretty much possible.

No, Reason behind your implementation not working can be but not limited to are given below.

1) Every Phone Manufacturer tweak Android OS code(As Android is Open Source). There can be chance of have given priority to System Apps first then public apps.

2) There can be other apps(System/Public both) running on the phone, which are listening on the same BroadCast Intent and taking action before your app does anything.

3) Phone are slow and your receiver getting command little later then expected!!
