Background Service Stop when removing app from recent

Question

Background service is stop, when removing my app from recent in oppo & vivo mobiles, & Broadcast reciever also not working in that case.

Answer 1

I had same issue with Oppo, Vivo, Mi and etc phones,

1. after removing from recent applications app was getting killed even services was getting killed

Solution: I had add autostart permissions like this in my application and it worked.

2. After resolving this issue my app was getting frozen/killed after sometime running in background due to DOZE mode Solution: for this condition this worked and now my app is working in background in any device

3. After above things do this:

intent.setClassName("com.coloros.oppoguardelf", "com.coloros.powermanager.fuelgaue.PowerConsumptionActivity"); startActivity(intent);

call above intent, it will redirect you to battery option, "Disable Background Freeze, Abnormal Apps Optimization and Doze from \"Energy Saver ->youAPP"

Note: Once you call above intent, there you may get different options to turn off Battery saving options.

Answer 2

yes.
if you want the service to start over you need to configure it as 'sticky':

After doing this, follow the accepted answer, it will work.

Answer 3

You need to ask your users to whitelist your app in their settings for it to work in these phones. The custom OS on these phones only allows whitelisted apps like whatsapp,fb etc to work in background, other apps have to whitelisted manually from settings

@Nullable

@Override
   public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) 
{

   }

   @Override
   public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) 

{

  // Let it continue running until it is stopped.

Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      return START_STICKY;

   }

   @Override
   public void onDestroy() {

 super.onDestroy();

Toast.makeText(this, "Service Destroyed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
