I want to keep a IntentService running in background even when the app is killed. But if I remove my app from the recents screen, my service is stopped. How can I avoid this? In other words, how can I keep my service running even if my app is closed from recent apps?
My ForegroundService:
public class ForegroundService extends Service {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "ForegroundService";
public static boolean IS_SERVICE_RUNNING = false;
private NotificationManagerCompat notificationManagerCompat;
final NotificationCompat.Builder playingChannelID = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, Constants.NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID);
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
notificationManagerCompat = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
if (intent != null && intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
showNotification();
} else if (intent != null && intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
MainActivity.exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(false);
notificationManagerCompat.cancel(Constants.NOTIFICATION_ID.FOREGROUND_SERVICE);
stopSelf();
}
return START_STICKY;
}
private void showNotification() {
createNotificationChannel();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
notificationIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.MAIN_ACTION);
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
notificationIntent, 0);
Intent playIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
playIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION);
PendingIntent pplayIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,
playIntent, 0);
Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.radio);
playingChannelID.setContentTitle("Service");
playingChannelID.setContentText("Playing...");
playingChannelID.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.Service);
playingChannelID.setLargeIcon(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(icon, 128, 128, false));
playingChannelID.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
playingChannelID.setOngoing(true);
playingChannelID.addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_delete, "Turn Off",
pplayIntent).build();notificationManagerCompat.notify(Constants.NOTIFICATION_ID.FOREGROUND_SERVICE, playingChannelID.build());
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// Used only in case if services are bound (Bound Services).
return null;
}
private void createNotificationChannel() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = Constants.NOTIFICATION_NAME;
String description = Constants.NOTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION;
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(Constants.NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
}
My Constants:
public class Constants {
public static String NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID = "NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID_RADIO";
public static String NOTIFICATION_NAME = "RADIO_NOTIFICATION";
public static String NOTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION = "NOTIFICATION_DESCRIPTION";
public interface ACTION {
public static String MAIN_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.main";
public static String PLAY_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.play";
public static String STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.startforeground";
public static String STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.stopforeground";
}
public interface NOTIFICATION_ID {
public static int FOREGROUND_SERVICE = 101;
}
}
My Manifests:
<service android:name=".service.ForegroundService" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
I see that the service is running when the app is open. It's still running when I minimize the app via home-button. It's still running when I close the app via back-button. But it will stop if I kill it as mentioned above. How do I solve this?
