Received BOOT broadcast but cannot start Service - service

Question

I want to make my application's background service start when the device is on, So I make a BOOT receiver to start my service.
Here is My Mainifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapplication">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.MyApplication">
<service
android:name=".MyService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"></service>
<receiver
android:name=".BootReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Here is THE boot receiver:
package com.example.myapplication
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver
import android.content.Context
import android.content.Intent
import android.util.Log
class BootReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
// This method is called when the BroadcastReceiver is receiving an Intent broadcast.
Log.d("NEWTAG","BOOT is ON!!!!!")
val startIntent = Intent(context,MyService::class.java)
context.startService(startIntent)
Log.d("NEWTAG","SERVICE IS ON!!!!!")
}
}
This is My Service:
package com.example.myapplication
import android.app.Service
import android.content.Intent
import android.os.IBinder
import android.util.Log
class MyService : Service() {
override fun onBind(intent: Intent): IBinder {
TODO("Return the communication channel to the service.")
}
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
Log.d("NEWTAG","Service OnCreate!!!!!")
}
override fun onDestroy() {
Log.d("NEWTAG","Service OnCreate!!!!!")
super.onDestroy()
}
override fun onStartCommand(intent: Intent?, flags: Int, startId: Int): Int {
Log.d("NEWTAG","Service OnCreate!!!!!")
return START_STICKY
}
override fun onTaskRemoved(rootIntent: Intent?) {
super.onTaskRemoved(rootIntent)
Log.d("NEWTAG","Service OnCreate!!!!!")
}
}
I can get the
BOOT is ON!!!!!
from the receiver, But I cannot get the
Service OnCreate!!!!!
And the serivce's OnCreate() and OnStartCommand() did not run either.
Can anybody do me a favour?

Your BroadcastReceiver might not be starting after boot. Please check.
