background service has stopped on miui rom

Question

I am developing a background services and in OnDestroy Method, I've called an intent to start my services again. I'ts not started again on miui rom (Xiaomi mobile and huawei mobile).

How do I handle this?

public class NotificationsService extends Service {

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    ApplicationLoader.postInitApplication();
}

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

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return null;
}

public void onDestroy() {
    Intent intent = new Intent("example.app.start");
    sendBroadcast(intent);
}
}

In Manifest:

    <receiver android:name=".AppStartReceiver" android:enabled="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="example.app.start" />
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

@AliKouroshfar Please have a look at this https://stackoverflow.com/a/56335831/5685911 — Akki, Jun 01 '19 at 12:28
This is very common problem in custom ROMs with different vendors as you have mentioned some. And solution is already available @Akki suggested already. — Abdul Waheed, Jan 25 '21 at 10:53

It doesn't new on Xiaomi because Xiaomi has a feature called app permission, where user has to allow the app to start automatically (Service).

Go like this and allow your app to autostart:

Settings > permissions > Autostart

Or,

Don't try to restart the same Service inside onDestroy() instead use START_STICKY inside onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) method.

Again you are sending broadcast not starting a service, Use onDestroy properly:

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
Intent intent = new Intent("example.app.start");
sendBroadcast(intent);
super.onDestroy();
}

It's true. It doesn't new on Xiaomi. But is there any way to keep-alive a service programatically without Mi Settings? – Ali Kouroshfar Jan 29 '17 at 06:20
I am testing START_STICKY with OnDestroy, but not work and my service has stopped! – Ali Kouroshfar Jan 29 '17 at 06:22
No, Its a memory term in MIUI that the user has to autostart the selected app and don't use `START_STICKY` inside `onDestroy` use inside `onStartCommand` – W4R10CK Jan 29 '17 at 06:23
@AliKouroshfar you are sending broadcast not starting a service – W4R10CK Jan 29 '17 at 06:28
It's true. i'm sending broadcast. but i have a receiver that received my broadcast and start my service – Ali Kouroshfar Jan 29 '17 at 06:35
post that broadcast question separately with code. This question you posted is about service – W4R10CK Jan 29 '17 at 06:37
