Open an app on startup/after booting I need to force a selected application to start up each time my Android-based device is (re)started.

Is there anything I can use (configuration setting, external application etc.) to accomplish this task? Or is this kind of behavior limited to home screen managers only?
I'm not sure about the configuration setting, but I believe this is not only limited to home screen managers since you can achieve this by using 3rd-party apps.

Some related keywords:


Startup manager: Google Play Store
Autostart: Google Play Store
Autorun: Google Play Store


Otherwise, you can use automation apps like Tasker:


Create a Profile: Event - System - Device Boot
Create a Task with Action: App - Launch App - (Select the app)
Link the Profile to the Task
