Is there an Android Intent that indicates my background services (or main process) were killed? For example, due to low system memory etc.
I would like to have them restarted if they are killed.

I need this app (rather background service) to restart it. – KJAN Nov 10 '16 at 13:12

Okay, that makes sense now. Your wording was just odd to start with – OneCricketeer Nov 10 '16 at 13:24

I was under the impression that Android services will restart on their own, so I do not know a solution – OneCricketeer Nov 10 '16 at 13:28

Service restarts yourself only without a violent termination. I use START_STICKY, but in this case it is not functional – KJAN Nov 10 '16 at 13:32

1And the other answers there? AlarmManager? – OneCricketeer Nov 10 '16 at 13:41

You could explain what you have tried so far, in what cases it doesn't work and add relevant parts of your code to the question. – Markus Kauppinen Nov 10 '16 at 13:42

Thank you all for the information provided. I solved the problem by using AlarmManager. – KJAN Nov 12 '16 at 06:55

You can start the service again in onDestroy() of the service.
Or you can return START_STICKY from onStartCommand() of the service.
