In your manifest add this permission:
<uses -permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
Later in your code:
WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(this);
Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.wallpaper);
Bitmap wallpaper = ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
wallpaperManager.setBitmap(wallpaper);

You can use this method to set the wallpaper. Remember to put the wallpaper image in the res/raw directory.(You can add this manually if it hasn't been made yet)
public void setWall(){
InputStream wall = getResources().openRawResource(wallpaper);
Bitmap back = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(wall);
try {
getApplicationContext().setWallpaper(back);
}
catch(IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}}
and ofcourse set the permission in the manifest with this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER"/>
This will set the wallpaper to your phone and will stay after a reboot.

use scheduler of android mostly crontab
write a script to pick wallpaper from a location
on a condition like change in date
schedule this script into the scheduler at a particular time
so it will run at that time of day and will do your job

I think the question was to set the wallpaper at **Boot** time.... However information regarding crontab may be helpful in some cases....thanks for that!!! – Amit Feb 20 '12 at 10:04
