Answer 1

I faced same problem in OnePlus 6. I was going to make background service and it should be auto-started after restarting device. The BOOT_COMPLETED intent received for most devices, but not working in OnePlus 6. I tried to search and found solution. The reason is that my app is optimized on Battery Optimization. I changed the status to Not Optimized, after that it's working well.

Add permission on AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission  android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/>

White-list / optimization enabled your app

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        String packageName = getPackageName();
        PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
        if (!pm.isIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(packageName)) {
            intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
            startActivityForResult(intent, 1000);
        }
    }

I hope it will be helpful.

This is a special broadcast which you must hold a specific permission in order to receive (from the documentation for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED):

You must hold the Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission in order to receive this broadcast.

Be sure to declare that in your manifest. No runtime permissions are needed since it is a "normal" level permission. However, your app must also get started for the first time by the user (e.g. an Activity in your app) before the system will ever deliver this broadcast to your app.
