Protect app against Doze and App Standby optimisations #14

Closed SailReal closed 2 years ago

Please agree to the following

Summary

Replace foreground service with WorkManager

Motivation

As a user, I want to have the app polling for changes regardless of app standby, app deep sleep or something else, the app should simply run forever.

We currently use a foreground service and disable battery optimisations for this app but even both don't protect us completely against Doze, I think we should implement a WorkManager and set something similar to setAndAllowWhileIdle which internally uses an AlarmManager with setAndAllowWhileIdle() or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle() to protect against Doze.

We use now the AlarmManager directly instead of WorkManager so that we have better control over Doze and App Standby.
