Launch Android App at Boot (tested on Meta Quest 2)

Start Android App on Boot

The app has to be started once in order to register the receiver.

Add receiver to Android manifest

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

Start MainActivity on receiving boot event

public class VrReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.i("VR MANAGER", "The action was given to the BR: " + intent.getAction());
        Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
        i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
        context.startActivity(i);
    }
}
