Foreground services not working sometimes in android O and MIUI os #351

Open amitdoiphode11 opened 5 years ago

amitdoiphode11 commented 5 years ago

I have some question about location tracking and background services like (background/foreground/firebasejobdispatcher/jobshedular/workmanager).

Currently, my app is targetting android 28 version. And I am testing on Android 8.0 now. Above code is working perfectly on pre-O and post-O android version. But getting location after every 1 min.

I am creating foreground service but some devices like MI, Oneplus which stop this foreground service. Is the correct way to get locations or service will run in the background/foreground?

jobshedular/workmanager periodic time which is not lesser than 15 min.

Have anyone working on facing the same problem and resolving then please guide me.

Thank you

In order to run my foreground service even after app the was killed, I enabled Settings -> Apps -> Permission -> Auto Start Permission for my App. This was the only thing which worked on MIUI

If you read carefully in the end of second line

requires android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE

I was also facing the same error in one of my project I resolve it by adding permission in the manifest file. So just simply add foreground permission in the manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"></uses-permission> Hope it's work for you.
