For creating Home screen application, no need to use BroadcastReceiver. The activity with action and categories you used are sufficient. After power ON the android system will display all apps with category HOME and DEFAULT in a list, you have to select your home screen app and make it as default by checking the checkbox below the list, so from next time onwards it won't ask you to select home app whenever you press HOME button.

Check the Android example Home Sample , it may help you to create a new Home Screen application.

You need to you following code in BroadcastReceiver,

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
    System.out.println ( "Application Started" );
    // put your TimerTask calling class here

    try
    {
        Intent myIntent = new Intent ( context, AutoStartExampleActivity.class );
        myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(myIntent);
    }
    catch ( Exception e )
    {
        System.out.println ( " Error while Starting Activity " + e.toString() );
    }
}

You can download an example for here.
