Android Oreo JobIntentService Keep running in background for Android 7 &below and crashing often in Android 8 & above

Question

I have recently replaced all my service to foreground services and JobIntentService since there are some background execution limits (https://developer.android.com/about/version

I think you just need this much of a code. Create a new Class MyJobIntentService and write this much of a code and call postData() to start your service.

public class MyJobIntentService extends JobIntentService {

public static void postData(Context context, String data) {
    final Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyJobIntentService.class);
    intent.setAction(INITIAL_ACTION);
    intent.putExtra(SAMPLE_ID, data);
    enqueueWork(context, MyJobIntentService.class, 1000, intent);
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return null;
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    Ln.d("Cancelled service");
    super.onDestroy();
}

@Override
    protected void onHandleWork(@NonNull Intent intent) {
        if (intent != null) {
            final SampleRequest sampleRequest = requests.get(intent.getAction());
            if (sampleRequest != null) {
                try {
                   // perform some networking operations
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    Log.d("Error for intent ");
                }
                Log.i("send action ");
            } else {                
               Log.e("action not found for ");
            }
        }
    }
}

And make sure to add your service in manifest file
