Hi,

I tried the MyLocation example, but when i turn off notifications for the app in my phone, the foreground Tracker service crashes after a few hours.
The main goal is to not pollute the status bar.
I am new to B4A (but experienced in VB.net). What should i do to keep the service alive?
I know it can be done in other apps (like Open Radio). Searching keeps me going in circles.
Hope anyone can help me out.

You must have a foreground service.

Even with a foreground service many devices will kill your app at some point.

Hi Erel, thanks for responding so soon.
The "MyLocation" example has a foreground service.
So if i do understand you right, what i want can't be done in B4A and the apps where it is possible are made by android studio or so?
A workaround seems to be switching off battery optimization firom the app.
