Android Question [Solved] Services not killed?

[Roger C]

Hi,

Would below code make sure that the service never will be killed?
Thanks in advance.

Sub Service_Create
    Service.AutomaticForegroundMode = Service.AUTOMATIC_FOREGROUND_NEVER
    lock.PartialLock
End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Service.StartForeground(nid, CreateNotification("..."))
    StartServiceAt(Me, DateTime.Now + 30 * DateTime.TicksPerMinute, True)
End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy
    lock.ReleasePartialLock
    Service.StopAutomaticForeground
    CancelScheduledService(Me)
End Sub

Sub CreateNotification (Body As String) As Notification
    Dim notification As Notification
    notification.Initialize2(notification.IMPORTANCE_LOW)
    notification.Icon = "TrainClock36x36"
    notification.Sound = False
    notification.Vibrate = False
    notification.SetInfo("Tracking location", Body, Main)
    Return notification
End Sub

Theoretically yes. You can see an example here: Background location tracking

Practically, some of the devices will kill the process.
