No, not even a service will start automatically. The app must be invoked
by the user once in any case.

Only when the app has a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED intent
filter (and the respective permission to recieve this event), it may use
this to start a service automatically when you *reboot* your device. But
just installing something will *never* automatically start it.
