You need to do it in your manifest, since at the point where boot_completed is sent none of your app code can possibly have run to register a listener.
Be aware that boot_completed is a point where the system is under heavy load/contention - be sure to keep your onReceive function as short as it can possibly be (specifically, avoid I/O if at all possible).
