Always running Service with BroadcastReceiver for Call Tapping

Question

My Requirment

I am trying to build an application which shows a Toast whenever user makes a outgoing call from the phone. For this I am using a BroadcastReceiver to tap the call action and a service (to run Receiver always). once I start this activity, it starts showing toast when a outgoing call get initiated ...everything works well.

Issues

Sometimes I dont get any Toast Action EVEN for Outgoing call as well, is that mean service stops after some time ?
After phone reboot Toast Action for Outgoing call stops. Untill you start the servce again manually.
The code I have written is ok ? OR can it be improved ?

Below is the complete code -

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
    CallNotifierService m_service;
    boolean isBound = false;

    private ServiceConnection m_serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() 
    {
        @Override
        public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) 
        {
            m_service = ((CallNotifierService.MyBinder)service).getService();
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Service Connected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            isBound = true;
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CallNotifierService.class);
            startService(intent);
        }

        @Override
        public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) 
        {
            m_service = null;
            isBound = false;
        }
    };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, CallNotifierService.class);
        bindService(intent, m_serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
    }
    .
    .
    .
}

CallNotifierService.class

public class CallNotifierService extends Service 
{
    private final IBinder myBinder = new MyBinder();
    private static final String ACTION_OUTGOING_CALL = "android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL";
    private static final String ACTION_ANSWER = "android.intent.action.ANSWER";
    private static final String ACTION_CALL = "android.intent.action.CALL";

    private CallBr br_call;

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) 
    {
        return myBinder;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() 
    {
        Log.d("service", "destroy");
        this.unregisterReceiver(this.br_call);
        Toast.makeText(CallNotifierService.this, "Receiver Un-Registered", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
    {
        final IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
        filter.addAction(ACTION_ANSWER);
        filter.addAction(ACTION_CALL);
        filter.addAction(ACTION_OUTGOING_CALL);
        this.br_call = new CallBr();
        this.registerReceiver(this.br_call, filter);
        Toast.makeText(CallNotifierService.this, "onStartCommand Called", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return START_STICKY;
    }

    public class MyBinder extends Binder 
    {
        CallNotifierService getService() 
        {
            return CallNotifierService.this;
        }
    }

    public class CallBr extends BroadcastReceiver 
    {
        public CallBr() {}

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
        {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Action:"+intent.getAction(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

Manifest.xml

Could anyone please help for the issue OR pointout something better ?

@Bharat Once device switch off automatically service will stop, So when ever your device reboot that time you need to start service again then only you will get Toast Action, refer this example code :

BootCompleteReceiver.java

package com.example.newbootservice;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;  
import android.content.Context;  
import android.content.Intent;    

public class BootCompleteReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {   

@Override  
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {  

   Intent service = new Intent(context, AutostartService.class);  
   context.startService(service);   

        }  

    }

AutostartService .java

package com.example.newbootservice;

import android.app.Service;  
import android.content.Intent;  
import android.os.IBinder;   
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AutostartService extends Service {  


    @Override  
    public void onCreate() {  
        super.onCreate();    
    }  

    @Override  
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {  

        Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return Service.START_STICKY;  
    }  

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {

        super.onDestroy();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroy", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    @Override  
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {  
        return null;  
    }  
}

MainActivity.java

package com.example.newbootservice;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), AutostartService.class));
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}
