  • Is your app added to the list of apps what are allowed to run in the background? (protected apps) – David Wasser Jan 26 '18 at 10:29

  • On certain devices, Android will only allow certain apps to run in the background. These apps need to be manually added to a list of "protected apps" (different manufacturers have different names for this). Lenovo is one vendor that has this. Huawei, Xiaomi and others also use this concept. You need to find the setting that controls this and add your app to this list. – David Wasser Feb 19 '18 at 12:36
  • If you don't have your app in the list of "protected apps", then `onTaskRemoved()` will not be called and Android will not restart your `Service` even though you return `START_STICKY` from `onStartCommand()`. – David Wasser Feb 19 '18 at 12:37
  • how to identify protected apps? how to add my app to protected apps list ? can you please tell me? @DavidWasser – Revathi Manoharan Feb 20 '18 at 13:01
  • I don't have this phone so I do not know. In any case I can tell you that you cannot programatically add your app to the list. You need to tell the user that he has to do it manually. Look in some Lenovo forums for help or just click through the Android settings. Good luck and let us know what you find! – David Wasser Feb 20 '18 at 15:26
  • Are you using protected apps in your any project? Except lenovo@David Wasser – Revathi Manoharan Feb 20 '18 at 15:31
