Android App and its service is killing automatically within 4 minute

Question

I am working on Android App which supports BLE devices.

In some mobile with Android 6. app is and ble service is killing by OS.
Is anyone having any idea how to keep running my app in background and after killing the app?

Using START_STICKY on service:

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    return START_STICKY;}

I am using START_STICKY in my service. updated in question. this is working fine for some mobile phone. — Parth, Dec 20 '16 at 10:14
I researched in internet, i get to know this behaviour is due to doze mode feature in android 6. but I am not sure how to resolve this problem. — Parth, Dec 20 '16 at 10:19

Start your service in foreground by startForeground(), the in will be no affected by doze mode

Thanks . But after killing app will it work?? service will run? – Parth Dec 20 '16 at 10:29
Still your service will be destroyed if someone clears recent apps if you try this.. and it will keep a notification in status bar in always – Mr.Popular Dec 20 '16 at 11:31
This is not working for me.. after killing app all things are clearing (notification, app, service) and service is not restarting even though i am using as START_STICKY. – Parth Dec 20 '16 at 13:24

I am trying to solve a problem similar to your. I think to have a Service always on you must acquire a wakeLock, see here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html
