R RanSoft Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 28, 2016 #1 Good morning I need to run in the background a service for notifications. The service continues if I go out simply from the app - OK Problems: If I close the app, the service ends. It does not start when you start Android, despite #StartBoot. Download here the source code ... http://www.ransoft.it/download/notify.zip Thank you.

Click to expand... This is expected in newer android versions. If the User explicitely kills a app then Android will not start the Service unless the user explicitely start the app again. Don´t kill the app with a taskmanager. LEt android decide when to kill our app (or not)... Upvote 0

lemonisdead Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 28, 2016 #4 Yes, you can test that workaround : register a broadcast receiver from the Manifest like this Code: Copy AddReceiverText(Your_Service_Name, <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/> </intent-filter>) Plus : you have to check if your app is not installed on the external storage (on some phones app installed there won't start at boot) Upvote 0

lemonisdead Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 28, 2016 #9 That's what DonManfred said : if you kill the app, it will restart only at boot (to be clear : when the phone/tablet is restarted ; subject of your initial question) Upvote 0

DonManfred says this: If I close the app, the service ends. It does not start when you start Android, despite #StartBoot. Therefore, the service will not start at boot. Here is the test I conducted: 1. Installed and ran in release mode on a device with 4.2.2 OS. runs ok 2. Force close app. 3. Completely power off device. 4. Restart device, app does not restart. EDIT: if you do not force close the app, the service restarts at boot ok. Merci Last edited: Feb 28, 2016 Upvote 0

lemonisdead Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 28, 2016 #14 I am sorry : just made the test to be sure like this : Start the app with only start at boot. It shows the Toast at internal Kill the app or by swiping the activity or by the Stop button from Android settings \ Application Reboot : it won't restart. Insert the intent receiver in the manifest and do the same It shows the Toast Kill the app or by swiping or by the Stop button Restart the phone : it restarts the service I can make some video tomorrow if needed (the device is a Homtom HT6 Lollipop). About the second point : having the service continuing running : by putting the service as sticky one, it continues running if the app is killed by swiping and stops when using the Stop button.
