Please follow the below steps to solve this problem, I solved the same issue
Some properties will not directly accessible to app layer in android, It is need to load the package dynamically, for that need to create a class SystemPropertiesProxy
Copy the below code as it is in SystemPropertiesProxy.java

Calling in your code
String property = SystemPropertiesProxy.get(this, "sys.boot_completed");
Thus your problem gets solved.
