Can't cancel a notification after updating it

I'm developing a countdown app, and currently trying to show a notification when you exit the app while the countdown is running. Correspondingly, I want the notification to disappear when the user returns to the app.
So far I've managed to make it work for a simple notification with static text, do the following: in MainActivity.java, in onStop(), I create an intent and initiate the service with startService(intent). Symmetrically, in onStart() I run stopService(intent) so that when you return to the app the service gets canceled. This works like a charm, the notification appears and disappears when it must.
The next step has been trying to make the notification show a text that varies (it will say "X minutes remaining"). According to the info out there, to update an existing notification you have to create a new one, give it the same ID as the existing one, and call .notify of a NotificationManager. When I do this the notification indeed gets updated correctly (the text changes as expected), BUT: now, returning to the main activity does not cancel the notification. The icon stays up there and doesn't get interrupted.
I've been trying to solve this for hours and hours. I've also tried hacks like sending signals via shared preferences to tell the service to stop, but for some reason, it seems to completely ignore the command stopself() too.
Does anybody have a suggestion of what could be the cause? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the relevant code:
MainActivity.java:
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), CounterService.class);
stopService(serviceIntent);
}
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), CounterService.class);
startService(serviceIntent);
}
CounterService.java:
public class CounterService extends Service {
Notification notification;
NotificationManager notificator;
Intent intentNoti;
CountDownTimer counter;
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
intentNoti = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
final PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intentNoti, 0);
final Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.common_full_open_on_phone);
//Countdown
counter = new CountDownTimer (30000, 1000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
String time = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis());
notification = new Notification.Builder(CounterService.this)
.setContentTitle("Name")
.setContentText(time)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon_start)
.setLargeIcon(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(icon, 128, 128, false))
.setContentIntent(pending)
.setOngoing(true).build();
notificator = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificator.notify(1001, notification);
}
public void onFinish() {
}
}.start();
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
counter.cancel();
}
}

First create a Timer like this
private Timer timer;
private TimerTask timerTask;
public void startTimer() {
timer = new Timer();
timerTask = new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
// Add your code
}
};
timer.schedule(timerTask, 1000, 1000); //
}
Also you need to stop your timer.
So
public void stoptimertask() {
if (timer != null) {
timer.cancel();
timer = null;
}
}
Call StartTimer and StopTimer in OnStartCommand() and onDestroy() respectively. Add these lines in onDestroy()
Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent();
broadcastIntent.setAction("restartservice");
broadcastIntent.setClass(this, Restarter.class);
this.sendBroadcast(broadcastIntent);

it can be handled in multiple ways, you have not stopped your timer
Note:- posting code in Kotlin
1)
override fun onDestroy() {
counter.cancel()
}
in your activity
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
val notificationManager = getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager
notificationManager.cancelAll()
}

Service onCreate and onStartCommand don't run

I'm building an android service for audio playback (it's a flutter app using native code for playback), but when launching the service it doesn't seem to run onCreate() and `onStartCommand()'.
I've tested it with putting some print or log statements in those functions, but they never run. I've also made sure to add the service into the AndroidManifest.xml
Here is how I launch the service:
public class MainActivity extends FlutterActivity implements MethodCallHandler {
public void onMethodCall(MethodCall call, Result result) {
switch (call.method) {
[...]
case "startService":
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(getFlutterView().getContext(), AudioService.class);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
this.startForegroundService(serviceIntent);
} else {
this.startService(serviceIntent);
}
break;
[...]
}
}
FlutterActivity is a class that extends Activity
Here is the service class:
public class AudioService extends Service {
public MediaPlayer audioPlayer;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.i("Audio", "onCreate()");
}
#Nullable
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
Log.i("Audio", "Starting service...");
// create notification
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
this,
0,
notificationIntent,
0
);
Notification audioNotification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle("Foreground service is running")
.setContentText("This notification does nothing")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.app_icon)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
startForeground(1, audioNotification);
audioPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
Log.i("Audio", "Service started successfuly");
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
// destroy the player
stopAudio();
}
[...]
}
And the service declaration in AndroidManifest:
<service
android:name=".AudioService"
android:process="net.tailosive.app.AudioService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"/>
I don't see what I'm doing wrong here.
A thing worth mentioning is that the installed package name is net.tailosive.app, but the the package name included in java files, directories and manifest is com.example.tailosive. Could this be an issue?

I highly recommend reading this topic : Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()
From my experience (Working on the same scenario), you will face lots of unexpected bugs on different devices and different SDK versions by starting a Foreground Service using startForegroundService command. Just use the old startService method and you'll be fine.
Also what's the purpose of using START_STICKY while it's a Foreground Service and it's guaranteed to be running as long as the ongoing notification displays?

BroadcastReceiver for SCREEN_ON and SCREEN_OFF even after quitting the app

I'm trying to make an app that monitors the users phone usage by tracking time of screen lock and unlock. I tried to setup a BroadcastReceiver which works fine when the app is running the background. But won't work when I close the app. Is there a solution for this.
The code I'm using now is as follows :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ScreenListenerService.class);
startService(intent);
}
}
ScreenListenerService class is as follows..
public class ScreenListenerService extends Service {
private BroadcastReceiver mScreenStateBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
// Save something to the server
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
// Save something to the server
}
}
};
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
intentFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
registerReceiver(mScreenStateBroadcastReceiver, intentFilter);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
unregisterReceiver(mScreenStateBroadcastReceiver);
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
}
My AndroidManifest file is as follows :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.abbinvarghese.calculu">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<service android:name=".ScreenListenerService" />
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

To overcome the imposed limitations of 8.0 you could run a foreground service. Just like a service but a notification is posted to the foreground.
Then the service code would be like this (remember to unregister the receiver onDestory):
BroadcastReceiver screenReceiver;
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
startRunningInForeground();
detectingDeterminateOfServiceCall(intent.getExtras());
registerBroadcastReceivers();
return START_STICKY;
}
private void startRunningInForeground() {
//if more than or equal to 26
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) {
//if more than 26
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 26){
String CHANNEL_ONE_ID = "sensor.example. geyerk1.inspect.screenservice";
String CHANNEL_ONE_NAME = "Screen service";
NotificationChannel notificationChannel = null;
notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ONE_ID,
CHANNEL_ONE_NAME, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN);
notificationChannel.enableLights(true);
notificationChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
notificationChannel.setShowBadge(true);
notificationChannel.setLockscreenVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC);
NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
if (manager != null) {
manager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
}
Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.background_running);
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.setChannelId(CHANNEL_ONE_ID)
.setContentTitle("Recording data")
.setContentText("ActivityLog is logging data")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.background_running)
.setLargeIcon(icon)
.build();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
notification.contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, notificationIntent, 0);
startForeground(101, notification);
}
//if version 26
else{
startForeground(101, updateNotification());
}
}
//if less than version 26
else{
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Activity logger")
.setContentText("data recording on going")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.background_running)
.setOngoing(true).build();
startForeground(101, notification);
}
}
private Notification updateNotification() {
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
new Intent(this, MainActivity.class), 0);
return new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle("Activity log")
.setTicker("Ticker")
.setContentText("recording of data is on going")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.activity_log_icon)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setOngoing(true).build();
}
private void detectingDeterminateOfServiceCall(Bundle b) {
if(b != null){
Log.i("screenService", "bundle not null");
if(b.getBoolean("phone restarted")){
storeInternally("Phone restarted");
}
}else{
Log.i("screenService", " bundle equals null");
}
documentServiceStart();
}
private void documentServiceStart() {
Log.i("screenService", "started running");
}
private void registerBroadcastReceivers() {
screenReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
switch (Objects.requireNonNull(intent.getAction())){
case Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON:
//or do something else
storeInternally("Screen on");
break;
case Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF:
//or do something else
storeInternally("Screen off");
break;
}
}
};
IntentFilter screenFilter = new IntentFilter();
screenFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
screenFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
registerReceiver(screenReceiver, screenFilter);
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
unregisterReceiver(screenReceiver);
}
and call it from the main activity:
private void startServiceRunning() {
if(!isMyServiceRunning(Background.class)){
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >25){
startForegroundService(new Intent(this, Background.class));
}else{
startService(new Intent(this, Background.class));
}
}
}

As Background Execution Limit imposes on Android 8.0 (API level 26) so now it's not possible to listen SCREEN_OFF and SCREEN_ON action in background by running the service.
I have found a work around for same with the help of JobScheduler which works fine for listen broadcast in background without running any service.
Please check on this: Screen OFF/ON broadcast listener without service on Android Oreo

Instead of creating a new service for broadcast receiver, you can directly create a broadcast receiver class that will listen to system broadcasts even when the app is not running.
Create a new class which extends BroadcastReceiver.
public class YourReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//Do your stuff
}
}
And register it in manifest.
<receiver
android:name=".YourReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SCREEN_ON" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action. ACTION_SCREEN_OFF" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAUL" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Read about Manifest-declared receivers here.
Above solution won't work, here is the reason why. Problem is that your service is getting killed when the app is killed, so your receiver instance is removed from memory. Here is a little trick to re-start the service in background. Add the following code to your service.
#Override
public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent){
Intent restartServiceIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), this.getClass());
restartServiceIntent.setPackage(getPackageName());
PendingIntent restartServicePendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(), 1, restartServiceIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
AlarmManager alarmService = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmService.set(
AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME,
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000,
restartServicePendingIntent);
super.onTaskRemoved(rootIntent);
}
Although this is not the right way to do it. Also in Android 26+ you won't be able to do this and you'd go for foreground service. https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background

How do I execute a method every 1 Minute for the purpose of updating my App (Android Studio) [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Android Handler Periodically
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I had a very simple question, I'm trying to update my app with data from my database every 1 minute. I have a method called "SendRequest" which collects the data from my database.
How would I execute this method every 1 minute? I'm not sure where to start with it.
Thanks!

It work In android
Put Your sendRequest method in a thread
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
Handler customHandler = new Handler();
customHandler.postDelayed(updateTimerThread, 0);
}
private Runnable updateTimerThread = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//enter "sendRequest" method here
}
customHandler.postDelayed(this, 60000);//you can put 60000(1 minut)
}
};
the above code will send request in every minut

First add this to your manifest
<receiver android:name=".NetWatcher" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service
android:name=".location_service"
android:enabled="true" >
</service>
After that add this two classes in your project
public class location_service extends Service {
LocationManager locationManager;
AlarmManager alarmMgr;
PendingIntent pendingIntent;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
public void onCreate(){
alarmMgr = (AlarmManager) this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(this, NetWatcher.class),PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
// Use inexact repeating which is easier on battery (system can phase events and not wake at exact times)
alarmMgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,System.currentTimeMillis(),1000*60*1,pendingIntent);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
// Write your method here
return START_STICKY;
}
}
And
public class NetWatcher extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//start service
Intent in = new Intent(context, location_service.class);
context.startService(in);
}
}
After that write your method inside onStartCommand. start servise from your main activity first time
Intent in = new Intent(context, location_service.class);
context.startService(in);
it will run background mode also.

You can acheive it like this:
class MyClass{
public static void main(String[] args){
while(true){
Thread.sleep(60000);
SendRequest();
}
}
}

Broadcast receiver register in on create of class extend from application

I'm working on app which test state on server every 15 min and push notification , i used Alarm Manager , broadcast receiver & Intent Service .
every thing worked fine and i get this state from server perfectly when app is running or in background , until i removed it from recent apps, every thing stops and can't get that state from server.
I searched ... and get nothing , but my friend tell me that I must register my broadcast receiver in on create of class extend from application.
I don't know how to do this .. so I need help please

You need to start the service as a foreground service. When you clear app from recents it kills the service
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getApplicationContext().getResources(),
R.mipmap.ic_launcher))
.setContentTitle("WhatsApp Reminder Service.")
.setContentText("Touch to configure.");
Intent startIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 965778, startIntent, 0);
builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
startForeground(965778, builder.build());
return START_REDELIVER_INTENT;
}
It is necessary to build a notification when you use foreground service.
Hope it helps.
I see you have used IntentService
see answer to this question
Using startForeground() with an Intent Service

To run a process on a device when users are not particularly interacting with your application.
The steps will involve:
1.Updating your android manifest xml
2.Setting up broadcast receivers to listen to relevant events
3.Set up a background service for context when your application isn’t running
Android menifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-permission ... />
<application
android:name=".MyApplication"
... >
<receiver android:name=".receivers.PeriodicTaskReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.app.PERIODIC_TASK_HEART_BEAT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".services.BackgroundService" />
...
</application>
Now for the Broadcast receiver
public class PeriodicTaskReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "PeriodicTaskReceiver";
private static final String INTENT_ACTION = "com.example.app.PERIODIC_TASK_HEART_BEAT";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (!Strings.isNullOrEmpty(intent.getAction())) {
MyApplication myApplication = (MyApplication) context.getApplicationContext();
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = myApplication.getSharedPreferences();
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BATTERY_LOW")) {
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(Constants.BACKGROUND_SERVICE_BATTERY_CONTROL, false).apply();
stopPeriodicTaskHeartBeat(context);
} else if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BATTERY_OKAY")) {
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(Constants.BACKGROUND_SERVICE_BATTERY_CONTROL, true).apply();
restartPeriodicTaskHeartBeat(context, myApplication);
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(INTENT_ACTION)) {
doPeriodicTask(context, myApplication);
}
}
}
private void doPeriodicTask(Context context, MyApplication myApplication) {
// Periodic task(s) go here ...
}
public void restartPeriodicTaskHeartBeat(Context context, MyApplication myApplication) {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = myApplication.getSharedPreferences();
boolean isBatteryOk = sharedPreferences.getBoolean(Constants.BACKGROUND_SERVICE_BATTERY_CONTROL, true);
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(context, PeriodicTaskReceiver.class);
boolean isAlarmUp = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, alarmIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE) != null;
if (isBatteryOk && !isAlarmUp) {
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmIntent.setAction(INTENT_ACTION);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, alarmIntent, 0);
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES, pendingIntent);
}
}
public void stopPeriodicTaskHeartBeat(Context context) {
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(context, PeriodicTaskReceiver.class);
alarmIntent.setAction(INTENT_ACTION);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, alarmIntent, 0);
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
}
}
here com.example.app.PERIODIC_TASK_HEART_BEAT is application’s own broadcast, created and sent from our restartPeriodicTaskHeartBeat method.
your Alarmmanager should have this line
alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES, pendingIntent);
Now for your background service class:
public class BackgroundService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "BackgroundService";
PeriodicTaskReceiver mPeriodicTaskReceiver = new PeriodicTaskReceiver();
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
MyApplication myApplication = (MyApplication) getApplicationContext();
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = myApplication.getSharedPreferences();
IntentFilter batteryStatusIntentFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED);
Intent batteryStatusIntent = registerReceiver(null, batteryStatusIntentFilter);
if (batteryStatusIntent != null) {
int level = batteryStatusIntent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1);
int scale = batteryStatusIntent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_SCALE, -1);
float batteryPercentage = level / (float) scale;
float lowBatteryPercentageLevel = 0.14f;
try {
int lowBatteryLevel = Resources.getSystem().getInteger(Resources.getSystem().getIdentifier("config_lowBatteryWarningLevel", "integer", "android"));
lowBatteryPercentageLevel = lowBatteryLevel / (float) scale;
} catch (Resources.NotFoundException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Missing low battery threshold resource");
}
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(Constants.BACKGROUND_SERVICE_BATTERY_CONTROL, batteryPercentage >= lowBatteryPercentageLevel).apply();
} else {
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(Constants.BACKGROUND_SERVICE_BATTERY_CONTROL, true).apply();
}
mPeriodicTaskReceiver.restartPeriodicTaskHeartBeat(BackgroundService.this);
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
startSelf();
}
}
Here the Backgroundservice tries to find the device’s low battery threshold and set our battery control flag appropriately before it attempts to restart the Broadcast receiver.
And START_STICKY will try to re-create your service after it is killed and call onStartCommand() again with a null intent.
Finally for your Application class start the Background service:
public class MyApplication extends Application {
private static final String TAG = "MyApplication";
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// Initialize the singletons so their instances
// are bound to the application process.
...
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, BackgroundService.class);
startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}
For detail implementation see this:https://technology.jana.com/2014/10/28/periodic-background-tasks-in-android/
be sure to make you service like this in your Mainifest
<service
android:name=".service.youservice"
android:exported="true"
android:process=":ServiceProcess" />
then your service will run on other process named ServiceProcess
if you want make your service never die :
onStartCommand() return START_STICKY
onDestroy() -> call startself
if nothing works use startForeground() service..
