Possible Fix

Tried to add the following into AndroidManifest.xml, but does not help:

    <service android:name="com.marianhello.bgloc.LocationService"/>
    <receiver android:name="com.marianhello.bgloc.BootCompletedReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/>
        <action android:name="com.htc.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
      </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

Sorry oreo README section was removed in recent commit. Since 0.6.0 only supports Oreo and later and there is no additional step to take.
