foreground service used to keep sending http requests when the app is killed but now wont for new android versions

[Farouk615]

Im using a foreground service that have 2 main tasks : 1: keep a ble connection with a device even if the app is killed 2:keep sending http requests (every 50 seconds I have requests to send) even when the app is killed

It used to work with all android versions, now it works only for old versions ( I tried with android 8.1.0 ) and it works perfectly as expected but wont for android 13, when i pause the app or kill it no http request is sent, but when i bring it up they all send simultaneously

this is the foreground service declaration

`const notificationId = 888; final foregroundService = FlutterBackgroundService(); NotificationService notificationService = Get.put(NotificationService());

Future initializeService() async { const AndroidNotificationChannel androidChannel = AndroidNotificationChannel( notificationChannelId, // id 'Ally', // title description: 'Ally is running', // description importance: Importance.low, // importance must be at low or higher level );

final FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin = FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin();

await flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin .resolvePlatformSpecificImplementation< AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin>() ?.createNotificationChannel(androidChannel); await foregroundService.configure( androidConfiguration: AndroidConfiguration( notificationChannelId: notificationChannelId, // this must match with notification channel you created above. initialNotificationTitle: 'Ally', initialNotificationContent: 'The application is recording', foregroundServiceNotificationId: notificationId, // this will be executed when app is in foreground or background in separated isolate onStart: onStart, // auto start service autoStart: true, isForegroundMode: true, ), iosConfiguration: IosConfiguration( // auto start service autoStart: false, // this will be executed when app is in foreground in separated isolate onForeground: onStart, // you have to enable background fetch capability on xcode project ), );`

this is the AndroidManifest.xml `

        android:exported="true"
        android:launchMode="singleTop"

             to determine the Window background behind the Flutter UI. -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
            android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
            />
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <service
        android:name="id.flutter.flutter_background_service.BackgroundService"
        android:foregroundServiceType="connectedDevice|dataSync"
        />`

note that the foreground service launches correctly, and when i kill the app it keeps runing, only issue is http requests are paused
