I've been messing around with android services and facing a problem while running foreground Services in MIUI 10(Testing Device: Redmi note 5 pro)
Basically Service runs as long as the user is interacting with activity but as soon as user kills activity, foreground service also gets killed.
I read some other answers regarding the same issues,
which state that in devices like Xaomi, Oppo, lenovo, LG, honor etc.
You need to enable "AutoRun" permission for the app
Which I tried with no success. I also tried the following with no success at all:
Disabled MIUI optimization
Disabled Power saving
Removed Battery restrictions for the app
Freed the memory (Total: 3GB, Available:
2GB)
What worked for me was enabling the: "Don't keep activites" in the Developer options but in real world application you probably wouldn't ask users to enable this option since it affects user experience.
By the way, I tested my app in other devices such as pixel, nexus etc(Android studio emulators) And They all worked fine. It's only my device which is causing this issue.

I know there's a way around this by enabling "Don't keep activities" in Developing options but I genuinely don't want the user to enable this in their device, Also I would gladly accept any alternative or code improvements to make the foreground Service work in MIUI 10.
Thankyou
EDIT:
Here's the project link: https://anonfile.com/y5Rd4bp3b9/ForegroundServiceExample_zip
And this is the tutorial I was following on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbpD5RZtbCc
Maybe you should try to call Service#startForeground at the begining of your service creation in the onCreate/onStartIntent
See this post Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground() for more information.
If you are facing an error like this.
Permission Denial: startForeground requires android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
Then you have to add this in your manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"></uses-permission>
Hope it's work for you.

In my app(java) I am getting values from two different crypto Exchange. Then doing some calculation and getting output values. Values are refreshing every second. Now I want to set alert/notification whenever output values is greater than specific value. I want this whenever app is closed or running. How to do that because I am not able to do that when app is closed? Thanks.
You have to use Foreground Service to enable notification even when app is closed .
According to AndroidDevelopers,
Foreground services perform operations that are noticeable to the
user. Each foreground service must show a status bar notification that
has a priority of PRIORITY_LOW or higher. That way, users are actively
aware that your app is performing a task in the foreground and is
consuming system resources.

You can do with Notification setting.
first go in setting,
then in notification setting ,
on notification for your app.
Thank you
For this purpose, you can create a foreground service running. This way, you'll be able to notify the user even after he has exited out from the App.
Reference : https://developer.android.com/guide/components/foreground-services?authuser=1
I want to have a foreground service and I wrote the codes.
But the problem is that the app works well on API 26 and below but not in API 28.
The problem in API 28 is that it works as a background service and if you close the app, service closes too.
Here is my code:
MyService:
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationChannel;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.app.Service;

import android.os.Process;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyService extends Service {
private Context context = null;
private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
private static final String CHANNEL_ID = "ChargeScreenService";
private Looper serviceLooper;
private ServiceHandler serviceHandler;
private BatteryBroadCast batteryBroadCast;
private NotificationManager notificationManager;
private Notification notification;
// Handler that receives messages from the thread
private final class ServiceHandler extends Handler {
public ServiceHandler(Looper looper) {
super(looper);
}
#Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// Normally we would do some work here, like download a file.
// For our sample, we just sleep for 5 seconds.
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
batteryBroadCast = new BatteryBroadCast(MyService.this);
batteryBroadCast.chargingChanges();
}
});
thread.start();
// Stop the service using the startId, so that we don't stop
// the service in the middle of handling another job
//stopSelf(msg.arg1);
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
// Start up the thread running the service. Note that we create a
// separate thread because the service normally runs in the process's
// main thread, which we don't want to block. We also make it
// background priority so CPU-intensive work doesn't disrupt our UI.
HandlerThread thread = new HandlerThread("ServiceStartArguments", Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND);
thread.start();
// Get the HandlerThread's Looper and use it for our Handler
serviceLooper = thread.getLooper();
serviceHandler = new ServiceHandler(serviceLooper);
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(this, "service starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
createNotificationChannel();
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
notification = new Notification.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle("Hi")
.setContentText("Hello")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setTicker("HI")

notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
} else {

.setContentText("Hello")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_name)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setTicker("HI")
.setOngoing(true)
.build();
}
startForeground(1, notification);
Message msg = serviceHandler.obtainMessage();
msg.arg1 = startId;
serviceHandler.sendMessage(msg);
// If we get killed, after returning from here, restart
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// We don't provide binding, so return null
return null;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "service done", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onDestroy();
}
private void createNotificationChannel() {
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
CharSequence name = "ChargeScreenService";
String description = "Service";
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance);
channel.setDescription(description);
// Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
// or other notification behaviors after this
notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
}
MainActivity:
...
startService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyService.class);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
startForegroundService(intent);
} else {
startService(intent);
}
}
});
...
Finally, I added the permission in AndroidManifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
And defined my service too.
<service
android:name=".MyService"
android:enabled="true" />

Samsung galaxy J7 pro (Model number: SM-J730F) (real device)
Virtual device: Genymotion Android 6
If your app targets API level 26 or higher, the system imposes restrictions on running background services when the app itself isn't in the foreground. In most cases like this, your app should use a scheduled job instead.
I have begun trying to develop an android app to use with the new estimote proximity beacons and I was following this guide to show "enter" notification when in range of the beacon. http://developer.estimote.com/android/tutorial/part-2-background-monitoring/
Everything is set correctly such as the UUID and declared the class in the AndroidManifest.xml file but the notification is not working.. Maybe I don't have the code order correct?
This is the BeaconChecker.java class (In the tutorial they call it MyApplication.java):
package com.mcrlogs.pp.test;
/**
* Created by usr on 15/01/2017.
*/
import android.app.Application;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import com.estimote.sdk.Beacon;
import com.estimote.sdk.BeaconManager;
import com.estimote.sdk.Region;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.UUID;
public class BeaconChecker extends Application {
private BeaconManager beaconManager;
public void showNotification(String title, String message) {
Intent notifyIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
notifyIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivities(this, 0,
new Intent[] { notifyIntent }, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(message)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build();
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
beaconManager = new BeaconManager(getApplicationContext());
beaconManager.setMonitoringListener(new BeaconManager.MonitoringListener() {
#Override
public void onEnteredRegion(Region region, List<Beacon> list) {
showNotification(
"Your gate closes in 47 minutes.",
"Current security wait time is 15 minutes, "
+ "and it's a 5 minute walk from security to the gate. "
+ "Looks like you've got plenty of time!");
}
#Override
public void onExitedRegion(Region region) {
// could add an "exit" notification too if you want (-:
}
});
beaconManager.connect(new BeaconManager.ServiceReadyCallback() {
#Override
public void onServiceReady() {
beaconManager.startMonitoring(new Region(
"monitored region",
UUID.fromString("B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D"),
null, null));
}
});
}
}
Found the cause, I just needed to add the following to my MainActivity.java class:
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
SystemRequirementsChecker.checkWithDefaultDialogs(this);
}
I've been able to successfully create an app (thanks davidgyoung!) that monitors beacons in the background and then subsequently opens the app in the background.
Now I would like my app to first prompt with a notification in the status bar saying something like "I've detected a beacon! Would you like to open out app?". Then the user would click on the notification to open the app or dismiss it and ignore the notification.
I've searched on stack overflow for something like but haven't had much success in finding something relevant to beacons. I did find this page that talks about adding StatusBar notifications but I'm not having much success.
Particularly its in my BeaconReferenceApplication.java and MonitoringActivity.java file. I think I put the code in the correct place (after didEnterRegion) but I have unresolved classes for areas like notificationButton, setLatestEventInfo, etc. Can someone help? Thanks in advance!

So I was able to fix my problem by using the example from the Android Developers website for Notifications. I used their sample code, adapted it to my use, and then even further used .bigText to make my notification look great. Credit goes to them and daviggyoung for getting my app working. Thanks!
I also didnt need to edit my MonitoringActivity.java like I posted earlier.

In my application I have to check whether the 24 hours are completed.
How do I check such things using Thread, TimerTask and Alaram Manager.
Let me know how do I achieve this thing using TIMERTASK and THREAD ?
Use Alarm Manager:
A small example:
This is working code. It wakes CPU every 10 minutes until the phone turns off.
Add to Manifest.xml:
...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>
...
<receiver android:process=":remote" android:name="Alarm"></receiver>
...
Code:
package YourPackage;
import android.app.AlarmManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.PowerManager;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Alarm extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "");
wl.acquire();
// Put here YOUR code.
Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm !!!!!!!!!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); // For example
wl.release();
}
public void SetAlarm(Context context)
{
AlarmManager am=(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(context, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis(), 1000 * 60 * 10, pi); // Millisec * Second * Minute
}
public void CancelAlarm(Context context)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Alarm.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
alarmManager.cancel(sender);
}
}
Set Alarm from Service:
package YourPackage;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
public class YourService extends Service
{
Alarm alarm = new Alarm();
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
}
public void onStart(Context context,Intent intent, int startId)
{
alarm.SetAlarm(context);
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
return null;
}
}
If you want set alarm repeating at phone boot time:
Add permission to Manifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission>
...
<receiver android:name=".AutoStart">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
...
And create new class:
package YourPackage;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class AutoStart extends BroadcastReceiver
{
Alarm alarm = new Alarm();
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"))
{
alarm.SetAlarm(context);
}
}
}
Alarms work in a different manner on and after API 19, make sure you are using API 18 and below if you want this to work. Otherwise you can include methods for API 19 from the official Docs.
If you want to know whether 24 hours has passed since last time, from inside app, I use sharedpreference by storing last time this check passed,
long hourSince1970 = System.currentTimeMillis()/3600000;
long lastUpdatedHour = MySharedPreference.getTimeLastUpdated(); // defaults to 0
if(lastUpdatedHour == 0 || hourSince1970-lastUpdatedHour >= 24){
MySharedPreference.setTimeLastUpdated(hourSince1970);
// 24 hours passed
// do your thing
}
