How do I avoid that my App enters optimization on Samsung devices

Smart manager kills an app that hasn't been used for 3 days. My app does some background work and hence, the user doesn't need to open it.

What can I do so that it doesn't enter app optimization mode ( Android OS 5.0.2, 5.1.1)

Sadly, there is currently no way to prevent this.

The only thing you can do is instruct users to disable optimization for your app.

I did some research about this myself not long ago, here are some links I saved that might be interesting for you

https://news.samsung.com/global/smart-manager-the-way-to-keep-your-galaxy-smartphone-as-good-as-new-always

http://developer.samsung.com/forum/thread/smart-manager-kills-my-alarms/202/288300?boardName=General&listLines=15&startId=zzzzz~&curPage=3

http://developer.samsung.com/forum/thread/samsung-smart-manager-is-preventing-alarmmanager-to-work-correctly/201/288546?boardName=SDK&startId=zzzzz~&searchSubId=0000000001

Also, here is a code snippet that launches the smart manager app's BatteryActivity (if it's installed) to help users to disable the optimization:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.samsung.android.sm", "com.samsung.android.sm.ui.battery.BatteryActivity"));
try {
    getActivity().startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Smart manager not installed on this device", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();
}

I found an array with the packages that are in the whitelist from Smart Manager. There is some kind of partnership with developers and Samsung.

Galaxy S7 Android N, Smart Manager its package name now is "com.samsung.android.lool"

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
            intent.setClassName("com.samsung.android.lool", "com.samsung.android.sm.ui.battery.BatteryActivity");
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startActivity(intent);
