Add this, to me work, but on new devices, there are no testing. For example in the recent nexus not working.

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

I can't see why you don't want to use BootCompleted, could you provide your reasons?

There is no other action that will alert your broadcast receiver of the boot. You will have to use BootCompleted.

As a note, I hope you are registering you BroadcastReceiver with the context (since you didn't include that code). If you're not using BootComplete, I don't know what action you've registered to expect your above code to execute.
