I try to start a ForegroundService by an BroadcastReceiver on Boot. I have tried this on a device with Android 8 and on an emulated Android 10 device. Both work fine. The problem is, that this code does not work on my Android 10 Galaxy S9. I have debugged everything, my BroadcastReceiver and the OnStartCommand method but also if the BroadcastReceiver runs the code fine, the OnStartCommand method does not start running.
I have a mainActivity in which the user has to apply this Process so the app gets opened once before the BroadcastReceiver should work.
I tried almost every solution i found here but nothing worked for me.
I don't understand why this is working on some devices but not on each. I hope someone can help me!
My min API is 26.

I have a problem and that is that the service I use in an Android project does not work when I disconnect the device from the power. If it is connected, it does work. I have tried many alternatives and the last thing I tried is this.
I need help... anything that can solve this problem?

It's supposed to be a simple to do list app. You can set a list Item with a task and time. It should send you a notification at the given time.
Everything works fine when the app is running but when I close it I don't get notifications. I tried on API 23 and API R. I was looking at other posts but I couldn't find any solution.
Receiver class:
public class AlertReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
boolean is24HourFormat = android.text.format.DateFormat.is24HourFormat(context);
CharSequence setTime;
if (is24HourFormat) {
setTime = DateFormat.format("HH:mm", calendar);
} else {
setTime = DateFormat.format("hh:mm a", calendar);
}
String currentTime = setTime.toString();
DataBaseHelper dataBaseHelper = new DataBaseHelper(context);
Item itemForNotificationText = dataBaseHelper.GetNotificationContent(currentTime);
NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(context);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context,CHANNEL_1_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_baseline_notifications_active_24)
.setContentTitle(itemForNotificationText.getTask())
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setCategory(NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_MESSAGE)
.setContentText(itemForNotificationText.getTime())
.build();
notificationManager.notify(dataBaseHelper.GetID(),notification);
}
}
I tired using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle but still doesn't work.
Start alarm:
public void startAlarm (Calendar c){
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, AlertReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, item.getNotification_id(), intent,0);
if (c.before(Calendar.getInstance())) {
c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
alarmManager.setExact(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,c.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent);
}
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
alarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,c.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent);
}
}

APP Class(Notification channel is created here):

public static final String CHANNEL_1_ID = "Channel 1";
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
CreateNotificationChannels();
}
private void CreateNotificationChannels () {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {

"Channel 1",

);
channel1.setDescription("Notifies you when an event has started.");
channel1.enableVibration(true);

manager.createNotificationChannel(channel1);
}
}
}
Went through the documentation on how to start a service automatically after the device boots and tried all they said but couldn't get my service to work after rebooting the device, though it works perfectly well on first instance.
Below is my main activity (MainActivity.java) which starts the service after a button has been clicked, and triggers the service every 10 seconds using AlarmManager.
public void onClickSubmitDate(View view) {
Intent service = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, service, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, 0, 10 * 1000, pendingIntent);
//Enable receiver when device boots
ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(this, BootReceiver.class);
PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(receiver,
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,
PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
}
Below is my receiver class (BootReceiver.java)
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
Intent service = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(null, 0, service, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
10 * 1000, 10 * 1000,
pendingIntent);
}
}
}
My service contains a thread which checks for multiple scenarios and builds a notification for each scenario. Here's a sample below:
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
notification.setAutoCancel(true);
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
boolean diff = true;
if (diff) {
// Build the notification
notification.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon);
notification.setTicker(getString(R.string.notification_ticker));
notification.setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.notification_title));
notification.setContentText(getString(R.string.notification_1_text));
notification.setSound(alarmSound);
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
notification.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
// Builds a notification and issues it
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Random r = new Random();
int rand = r.nextInt(1000);
nm.notify(rand, notification.build());
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
Thread stephThread = new Thread(r);
stephThread.start();
return START_STICKY;
}
And finally below is my AndroidManifest.xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Please can someone tell me what I've done wrong?
Thanks to help from #MikeM I could fix the problem.
Instead of
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(null, 0, service, 0);
I had to pass in the context as the first argument, in the receiver, as shown below
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, service, 0);
This is my first time trying to make an app that starts on boot and runs in the background, and I'm finding all the possible ways of doing it a little confusing. I need the app to do a quick check of a few things every half hour, and sleep in between, so I settled for using AlarmManager and setRepeating.
In this test I've set it up so a boot receiver sets the alarm, which should run a service every 60 seconds (actual app will be 30+ mins between running this). The service triggers a notification, but when I reboot the phone, the notification only shows up once. I clear it and never see it again.
I'll post the relevant code below. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Thanks!

The problem I had here was that the BackService class I was trying to trigger with the alarm, was extending from the Service class. It should have extended from the BroadcastReceiver class, as only BroadcastReceivers can be triggered by the externally sent alarms.
