TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

You need to register a broadcast receiver for the boot completion action i.e android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED

in onReceive of this receiver you can start your service get SIM number with below code lines 

  TelephonyManager telephoneMgr = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
  String phoneNumber = telephoneMgr.getLine1Number();

Also need to have permission for reading phone number as READ_PHONE_STATE in manifest file.

you can start service from broadcast receiver as -

 public class BootListener extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(context,Myservice.class);
    context.startService(intent);
}

}

    can you confirm that you have added manifest permission - . Because I have tested program on emulator & it's working – Sushil Dec 25 '11 at 17:25

    `telephoneMgr.getLine1Number();` is a very unreliable method by the way. – Abdul Wasae Jul 17 '17 at 06:20
