Android Question App in background with Notifications tuned off in phone

[Duck]

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.

It is not related to B4A or not.

Foreground services is the only way that Android allows app to run in the background. Maybe the other app you mentioned shows a transparent icon.
