Want to run a service in back ground when SMS or call received then background service call the flash on and off. Application works on marshmallow and low version. But not work on Oreo 8.0 and Pie 9.0. Due to Background service application crash after 10 second when application open.
Android.app.RemoteServiceException: Context.startForegroundService()
did not then call Service.startForeground()
How we fix this issue?
You have to call "Service.startForeground()" within few seconds after called "startForegroundService()" or the Service will be killed by Android.

When I used foreground service then when I kill the application then foreground service is automatically killed but I want to alive foreground service when the application is killed. this issue appeared in android 10 and android 11. how to solve this issue.
You can't do that as you should not be able to keep alive a foreground service after the application is killed.
You should only use a foreground service when your app needs to perform a task that is noticeable by the user even when they're not directly interacting with the app. If the action is of low enough importance that you want to use a minimum-priority notification, create a background task instead.
If you what to have some background service working, that will be possible.
You can find some useful information here :
https://developer.android.com/guide/components/foreground-services
https://developer.android.com/training/run-background-service/create-service
It should not get killed. When starting foreground service you need to create notification too. You have done that, right?
If you done everything right there is possibility that you have xiaomi phone. Xiaomi deletes everything when app killed. You need to add specific intent protection...
I create background and foreground service both to get android location on every Interval and send it to server.
When App is in foreground at that time service run fine but when app is in background my foreground service notification display perfect for few minutes after some time it automatically killed my service and I am not getting any location update after that.
It runs fine in Samsung device but create issue in Oppo,Vivo, Mi and OnePlus device
So please help me out to find best way to run Location service when app is closed, background or foreground in any state in all device and Android version greater Than "O"
Thanks in Advance
I have been reading Android docs and I feel I am bit lost and confused.
What is the type of service I need to use in Android, so that I can keep running my code even when the app is paused or minimized for prolonged period.
I am not interested in running the service if the app is closed. I want to run small piece of code that will run when app is in foreground or background, but not killed.
You can use a bound Service. The Service will stop after all the bound clients disconnect. Your Activity binds to the Service and when your Activity is killed or finished, you unbind and the Service stops. If Android kills off the Activity, the bound connection is also shut down and your Service will stop.
I've developed an android application with a service that runs in the background
the service is called like that
startService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),myService.class));
but when I remove the app from the recent apps, the service stops and it crashes if I test it..
is there a way to prevent the service from being destroyed when swiping the app from the recent apps?
thank you
You can register a service to run on a repeating cycle using AlarmManager
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html
The service will run even if the application is not running.
I always used Android 2.2 for my Apps. But currently I upgraded to Android 2.3.X Gingerbread. So if I start my App and go back to the android "desktop", the app is kill by 3-4 Minutes.
I think it will be killed after some minutes inactivity, but I need to run it in background to read some mobile status.
How can I set my App as a "Background" App, so that Android will not longer kill it?
Thanks for Help...

To run an application in the background it must be of type "Service". You have to register a service and it will run in your device forever. For more info, Android Services
