Android Service Not Getting Start From Jobintentservice On Boot

I am trying to run a service on OREO device and service get started as it listens to android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED intent. Below is Boot Received Broadcast Reciever class: p

Solution 1:

Since Android O Apps can no longer run Background Services while the App is in the Background. You will need to either update to a foreground service or migrate to jobs. I recommend the Evernote Android Job library to simplify working with Jobs and backwards compatibility.

Solution 2:

Yes. You can use the foreground service temporally to run background service.

I attached my code as below.

This is BOOT_COMPLETE BroadcastReceiver class.

publicclassBootCompleteReceiverextendsBroadcastReceiver {

    privatestaticfinalStringTAG="BootCompleteReceiver";

    @OverridepublicvoidonReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            Intenti=newIntent(context, TempForegroundService.class);
            context.startForegroundService(i);
        } else {
            Intenti=newIntent(context, BackgroundService.class);
            context.startService(i);
        }
    }
}

This is TempForegroundService class.

publicclassTempForegroundServiceextendsService {

    @OverridepublicvoidonCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            StringNOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID="Your Package Name";
            StringchannelName="Your Channel Name";
            NotificationChannelchan=newNotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, channelName, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_NONE);
            chan.setLightColor(Color.BLUE);
            chan.setLockscreenVisibility(Notification.VISIBILITY_PRIVATE);
            NotificationManagermanager= (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            assert manager != null;
            manager.createNotificationChannel(chan);

            NotificationCompat.BuildernotificationBuilder=newNotificationCompat.Builder(this, NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID);
            Notificationnotification= notificationBuilder.setOngoing(true)
                    .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                    .setContentTitle("App is running in background")
                    .setPriority(NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_MIN)
                    .setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_SERVICE)
                    .build();
            startForeground(2, notification);
            startService(newIntent(this, BackgroundService.class));
            stopForeground(true);
            stopSelf();
        }
    }

    @OverridepublicintonStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        return START_NOT_STICKY;
    }

    @Nullable@Overridepublic IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        returnnull;
    }
}

And this is BackgroundService class.

publicclassBackgroundServiceextendsService {

    publicfinalstaticStringTAG="BackgroundService";

    publicSyncService() {
    }

    @Overridepublic IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        returnnull;
    }

    @OverridepublicvoidonCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    @OverridepublicintonStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        // Add your codereturn START_STICKY;
    }
}

Please don't forget to add permissions and define services and receiver.

<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" /><serviceandroid:name=".BackgroundService"android:enabled="true"android:exported="false" /><serviceandroid:name=".TempForegroundService"android:enabled="true"android:exported="false" /><receiverandroid:name=".BootCompleteReceiver"><intent-filter><actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.REBOOT" /><categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /></intent-filter></receiver>
