I am using the following code to start a service periodically whether the app is foreground or not .
Intent getAlertIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), GetAlertAlarmReceiver.class);
PendingIntent getAlertpendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, getAlertIntent, 0);
AlarmManager getAlertmanager = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
getAlertmanager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 10000, getAlertpendingIntent);
The code for my receiver is following
public class GetAlertAlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, GetAlertServiceIntent.class);
context.startService(i);
}
}
And and service
public class GetAlertServiceIntent extends IntentService {
public GetAlertServiceIntent() {
super("GetAlertServiceIntent");
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
doSomething();
}
}
In my manifest file I declared everything as following
<receiver
android:name=".broadcastreceiver.GetAlertAlarmReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service
android:name="com.surroundapps.shotorkoporibar.services.GetAlertServiceIntent" />
This code work as expected in API level below Marshmallow but in marshmallow it doesn't work .
