Start Activity from Broadcast Recevier

Some time we need to start an Activity from Broadcast Receiver..
how can we achieve this i am going to write step by step.

So lets create a small App to do this things 

-------------------------------------------
App Name: BReceiver2Activity
Package Name: com.rdc
Android SDK: Android SDK 2.2 / API 8
-------------------------------------------

MyReceiver.java

package com.rdc;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  
  Toast.makeText(context, "MyReceiver Started", 
    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  Log.v("Info Message", "in Broadcast receiver");
  Intent myIntent=new Intent(context,MyActivity.class); 
  myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  context.startActivity(myIntent);
 }

}

MyActivity.java

package com.rdc;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.main);

 }
}

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:weightSum="1">
 <TextView
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="@string/hello"
  android:layout_weight="0.14" />
</LinearLayout>

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 package="com.rdc"
 android:versionCode="1"
 android:versionName="1.0">
 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

 <application
  android:icon="@drawable/icon"
  android:label="@string/app_name">

  <activity
   android:enabled="true"
   android:name=".MyActivity">
   <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.rdc.MyActivity">
    </action>
   </intent-filter>
  </activity>

  <receiver
    android:enabled="true"
    android:name=".MyReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>

 </application>
</manifest>

Now Reboot Emulator, Activity will appear on start-up.
