My Solution to write sticky service is working fine below Android version Lollipop but above Lollipop version service is getting closed when user kills the application from background.

Any suggestion guys.

  • But in case of foreground service we have to show service notification, that I don't want – Kanhaiya Chaurasiya Oct 03 '17 at 05:56
  • You can hide that notification I am using it like this Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(service).build(); service.startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification); – Omar Hayat Oct 03 '17 at 05:59
  • try this method just pass it service name which you want to run as foreground private static void startForeground(Service service) { Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(service).build(); service.startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification); } – Omar Hayat Oct 03 '17 at 06:03
  • like you can hide notification startForeground(Yourservice.instance); startForeground(this); //Cancel this service's notification, resulting in zero notifications stopForeground(true); – Omar Hayat Oct 03 '17 at 06:07

I got solution about it not why it's work for me but try this.

Override the onTaskRemoved() 

 @Override
    public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        //Write your stuff which you set in onDestroy()
    }

and set same code which you set in onDestroy() it work for me.

For instance below code will work on Lollipop.

 @Override
public void onTaskRemoved(Intent rootIntent) {
        Intent restartService = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
                this.getClass());
        restartService.setPackage(getPackageName());
        PendingIntent restartServicePI = PendingIntent.getService(
                getApplicationContext(), 1, restartService,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
        AlarmManager alarmService = (AlarmManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmService.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 1000, restartServicePI);
}

But Things are getting quite tricky Since android N release. And now android O put some more restrictions on background tasks. So the thing in In Android O no background service can run the service will kill by OS just after your application gone from the foreground(Only Foreground services can run i.e Service with a notification on top). Here is a informative solution.
