J John Leeson Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 13, 2024 #3 Thank you, simply adding these lines to the manifest does the trick. B4X: Copy SetServiceAttribute(KeepRunningService, android:foregroundServiceType, "mediaPlayback") AddPermission(android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK) None of the foreground service types seem appropriate for what the keeprunning service is doing, so I have just left it as mediaPlayback. I don't know if that will cause an issue when I upload to the store, but hopefully not Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 14, 2024 #4 The most suitable type is shortService: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/changes/fgs-types-required#short-service This is also the case with the useful MediaChooser library. It requires an update to B4A. I will release it later this week. Upvote 0
