foreground-service

Question I am wondering if we need to aquire the WakeLock or if the service.startForeground() command does that anyway for us? I didn't find anything in the documentation. Goal We want to remove unnesessary stuff which might slow down the service start as we want to start capturing the sensor data as soon as possible and as the service might be restarted frequently. Context We're developing an Android library to capture sensor data with ~ 200 Hz for up to a couple of hours (research environment). Right now we aquire a WakeLock and start the capturing service as ForegroundService to make sure

I have a foreground service that should execute a long-running (~20 minutes) task in a single go (a file transfer using Bluetooth). However, the service gets stopped after a while. As a simple test app that reproduces the issue, I did the following, first the activity: public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private ServiceConnection connection = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { TestService serv = ((TestService.TestServiceBinder) service).getService(); serv.startLongProcess(); } @Override public void

I want to start a foreground service in Android 8 and I want to know how are foreground services compatible with the notification channel system. Let's say we start a foreground service, then we immediately create the required notification and assign it to a notification channel. Suddenly, the user decides to go into System Settings and disable the notification channel. What happens in this case? Will the service become a background service? Does it get killed? I haven't found a documented answer. Default notification settings: Foreground service notification: Disable notifications: Android 8

I have a foreground-service with notification. When the app is swiped away from recent apps tray, service gets killed and notification also gets removed. Here is the code for my service VoiceService.class : @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return null; } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { showNotification(); Toast.makeText(this, "Service Started!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); return START_STICKY; } private void showNotification() { new SetupTask(this).execute(); // a method in my code which works fine. Intent notificationIntent = new

Unable to use foreground service inside InstantApp feature module. Getting below runtime security exception. java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{ . .XYZActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Method class android.app.ActivityManagerProxy.getServices not available to instant apps Android document says, Restricted features: Run on the device without users being aware. Foreground services are available. Instant apps can only be started through activities that support App Links, so services, content providers or broadcast receivers won't be able to start your app.

I'm having the Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground() in my Android service, but I cannot figure out why it is happening. My application is for media streaming, and this error only occurs when you pause from the foreground notification (turning it into a regular notification), and you then swipe the notification away, which is intended to stop my service. Here is the only method where the startForegroundService , startForeground and stopForeground methods are called: private void configureServiceState(long action) { if (action == PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION

I have a started foreground service. I've taken care to return START_STICKY from onStartCommand . I've observed that foreground services don't run indefinitely but are periodically terminated by an Android internal module called the RestartProcessManager . Essentially a process LRU is maintained and the newly terminated service gets scheduled again if it's configured to do so(sticky or not). The issue I'm facing is with how the restart is being handled. Logcat indicates the service intent was being delivered, but failed because the "process is bad" After scouring through other sources I was

So far, I've adjsuted my code to use ContextCompat.startForegroundService(context, intentService); to start my service. This way, it works on android < 26 and on android 26 (Oreo) as well. I still see a difference, in android oreo I don't see my custom foreground notification (I only see the "app is running in the background" notification). Do I have to adjust anything there as well? My service looks like this: public class BaseOverlayService extends Service { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); moveToForeground(); } private void moveToForeground() { Notification notification
