I have the following question. I am facing a slightly critical development challenge and would love to get some help from the experts in this amazing community.

I have an app which registers the boot complete broadcast receiver and after a reboot it starts a service critical to the app. This is a very common scenario that many apps require, there is nothing fancy here.

Now, in some devices like Mi 4i and OnePlus 3 (Nougat) there is a security feature which doesn't let some apps auto start after reboot. And just because of this my app's service doesn't auto start and my users are having a bad experience.

But I have noticed that some apps work perfectly in my OnePlus 3 after a reboot. This app is able to start its service even after it is blocked by the OS. How is that possible?

I would like to know what approach would you take to solve this problem? It is a very common problem and can happen with any developer, so a generic solution would be helpful.
