Background service without notification. [Feature request] #77

Closed PixsaOJ closed 2 years ago

Allow to run background service without annoying notification.

I enabled unrestricted battery usage from settings for the app and blocked the notification. I don't know if it works now.

It would be nice if there was supported way from the inside app to do it.

There are restrictions for background services starting from Android API level 26 (Oreo). That is why we have to use a foreground service with always-on notification. We understand that this can be annoying sometimes. But this is something that is imposed by the Android system itself. You can read more about it here

@projectmatris If every app had that, I would have 4 notifications constantly. That can't be right.

There are many others that do this without notification. They simply ask background permission and permission for unrestricted battery usage.
