Managing background running processes

Question

I am trying to freeze background running processes when mobile screen is off and when screen get on processes should restart automatically in lower android versions. But i am not able to find any code to achieve this functionality.So if anyone knows about this then please help.

Don't show any notification in the notification bar. I will automatically be killed by the android. If you killed instantly create a broadcast as answered by @Juan Sancho and kill your service. — Rajneesh Shukla, Jun 25 '19 at 10:17

Try this :)

IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
intentFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
            //Stop your service
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
            // Start your service
        }
    }
}, intentFilter);

You can stop your background service in onStop() method of activity life cycle by using stopService(intent); and again start in onResume() method of activity life cycle by using startService(intent);
