Starting another application from broadcast receiver

I am trying to start an activity from a Receiver after the device boot:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setComponent(ComponentName.unflattenFromString("other.apps.package.name/.ActivityName"));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); 
context.startActivity(intent);

This code just works fine when I call it from my activity however it fails when my BroadcastReceiver executes it after bootup. My Logcat shows:

ActivityNotFoundException: Have you declared the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Intent intent = new Intent(context, activity.class); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); context.startActivity(intent);

i think this 3 lines only needed and the context will be the context u receive in broadcast receiver.

I think the problem is in the following Line.what is the name of your Activity?is it "ActivityName"?Also Check package name.

intent.setComponent(ComponentName.unflattenFromString("other.apps.package.name/.ActivityName"))

You probably spelled or made a error when you declared your Activity in your manifest. Make sure you put it in there and spelled everything correctly
