Fetch the location of a device no matter what state the app is inAlways detect the location from my corporate application

I would like to get the location of corporate devices using a corporate application.
I've had success with locating the device when the application is in foreground but doesn't seem to work when the app is in the background or killed.
I tried to use push notification to start a service or broadcastReceiver when the app is closed or in background but nothing works.
Is there a way to fetch the location of a device no matter what state the app is in?

I have tried multiple solutions written on this site!

A lot of issues.
1)Don't use getLastLocation. This only works if the device already knows the location. Instead, use requestSingleUpdate to actually turn on the location hardware. This required you to use a real service, as a BroadcastReceiver would be killed too quickly. The BR can start the service though.
2)You need a foreground service, not a background service.
3)IN modern android, the user can choose to grant location only when the app is open and block all background access. Possibly a device policy owner can override this, not sure. But if it can't, you're screwed.

Android Notification Listener Service starting by itself

Im trying to make an app that getting all notifications and do the task. But my problem is NotifycationListener service starting automaticly even i didnt call the start service. Its starting as soon as I allow the app notification access on my phone. So service starting somehow and I cant stop it. Im already try simple services they working correctly. But this one with the NotificationListener is really painful. I just want to start and stop this service by my command.
Service start by itself when I allow this (screenshot)

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" />
</intent-filter>
></service>
</application>
And the tricky part is in the Manifest. When I delete intent-filter part and run the app. It doesn't want to notification access anymore and it doesn't start by itself. I can start and stop the service from the MainActivity with buttons. But this time the app not getting the notification.
// just delete this lines
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService" />
</intent-filter>

This is an intended behavior.
When you grant notification access permission (or restart the phone) then SYSTEM is binding to your NotificationListenerService in order to send notification data.
If you override your services onBind method and log it, you will see it's being called.

Android, Background service is not starting

I am implementing a simple application executing a background service, I am not able to start the service, following is my Manifest & Code, the service class is properly resolved ( reading resources ), inheriting from IntentService ( and implementing the req methods ) doesn't resolve the problem as-well...
Why does the Background service doesn't start?
any help will be appreciated.

Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), String.format("Hello from '%s'", strSvcName), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Class cls = null;
try {
cls = getClassLoader().loadClass(strSvcName);
startService(new Intent(this, cls));// Starts the service
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//finish();
}
}

The problem was simple, the service was actually starting but since android:process=":captureService" was specified it was starting on a separate process, one that is not connected by the debugger, either specifcally connecting to the service process, OR, omitting android:process=":captureService" resolve the problem.

I want to open HomeActivity on notification tap. Any help will be appreciated. If any other file is required, please let me know I'll add it.

Quoting from below post by Ahmad Raza
Exception when opening Parse push notification
You can extend ParsePushBroadcastReceiver and override onPushOpen method.
public class Receiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e("Push", "Clicked");
Intent i = new Intent(context, HomeActivity.class);
i.putExtras(intent.getExtras());
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
Use it in manifest, (Instead of using ParsePushBroadcastReceiver)
<receiver
android:name="your.package.name.Receiver"
android:exported="false" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.RECEIVE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.DELETE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.OPEN" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

After a long effort, it worked for me:
ParsePushApplication.java
public class ParsePushApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate(){
super.onCreate();
Parse.initialize(this, "App_Key", "Client_Key");
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ParseAnalytics.trackAppOpenedInBackground(getIntent());
try {
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
String jsonData = extras.getString("com.parse.Data");
JSONObject json;
json = new JSONObject(jsonData);
String pushStore = json.getString("alert");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, pushStore, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Receiver.java
public class Receiver extends ParsePushBroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "MyNotificationsReceiver";
#Override
public void onPushOpen(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.e("Push", "Clicked");
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtras(intent.getExtras());
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}

Background service doesn't work

I am trying to create an Android app in Android Studio.
The app is mainly a background service to send some information to the server around every 15 seconds or so.
I have created an empty activity, boot receiver and a service class, but it doesn't work.
Could somebody help me, and explain why it doesn't work.
The relevant files:
MainActivity.java
package nl.robinvandervliet.robinsapp.app;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
finish();
}
}
BootReceiver.java
package nl.robinvandervliet.robinsapp.app;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
context.startService(new Intent(context, RobinsService.class));
}
}
RobinsService.java
package nl.robinvandervliet.robinsapp.app;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class RobinsService extends Service
{
private Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
//Opening connection to the server.
while (true)
{
//Sending some data to the server.
//Sleeping for around 15 seconds.
}
//Dead code, should never reach this place.
}
};
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
new Thread(runnable).start();
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext()).setContentTitle("MyService is running!").setContentTitle("(more information later)").build();
startForeground(1, notification);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Service created!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

Thanks, Robin.

Since you haven't implemented some parts yet I assume you just want it to run when you boot your device. Maybe take a look here. Adding an extra action in the manifest might solve your problem.
