ON_BOOT_COMPLETE BroadcastReceiver running after app is force-stopped, then relaunched


My BroadcastReceiver is set up to receive ON_BOOT_COMPLETE
In my app, I have an if statement:

BroadcastReceiver.kt:

class BroadcastReceiverTest : BroadcastReceiver() {

    override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent)
        
        if (intent.action = Intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "BOOT_COMPLETE FLAG", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
        android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Example">
        <receiver
            android:name=".receiver.BroadcastReceiverTest"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.Example">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

When I force-stop my app, then relaunch it, the BOOT COMPLETE toast shows up.

My BroadcastReceiver picks up a BOOT_COMPLETE broadcast, even though my phone hasn't rebooted, but only after I force stop the app.
