Background Services running forever in Android (Part 3)

(Tested and verified in Android version 7,8,9,10)

Hi there! This is the last article for my series “Background Services running forever in Android”.

What we Android Developer do

20% of the time, coding
80% of the time, figuring out 🤔 why this is not working on that device. 😅

In this article we will talk about some Chinese Android device settings which will help in running services forever on all custom OS. So without further delay let’s begin. 😄

REQUEST TO IGNORE BATTERY OPTIMIZATIONS

First of all, request the user at runtime to ignore all the battery optimizations for your application.

This works on all OS

Now question arises how to do that?

Here is your answer -

Intent intent = new Intent();
String packageName = this.getPackageName();
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) this.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
{
    intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + packageName));
    startActivity(intent);
}

Now coming to main part and that is -

AUTO START PERMISSION

We can send Intents for asking autostart permission from system also. Check out how.

For MIUI

Intent intent = new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"))

For LeTv

Intent intent = new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity"))

For Huawei

new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.appcontrol.activity.StartupAppControlActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity"))

For Oppo/Vivo/Realme/OnePlus — based on ColorOS

new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.startupapp.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.FakeActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startupapp.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startupmanager.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safe", "com.coloros.safe.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safe", "com.coloros.safe.permission.startupapp.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safe", "com.coloros.safe.permission.startupmanager.StartupAppListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startsettings")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startupapp.startupmanager")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startupmanager.startupActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.startupapp.startupmanager")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.privacypermissionsentry.PermissionTopActivity.Startupmanager")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.privacypermissionsentry.PermissionTopActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.FakeActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.ui.phoneoptimize.AddWhiteListActivity")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.ui.phoneoptimize.BgStartUpManager")),
new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity"))

For Asus

new Intent().setComponent(new ComponentName("com.asus.mobilemanager", "com.asus.mobilemanager.entry.FunctionActivity")).
        setData(android.net.Uri.parse("mobilemanager://function/entry/AutoStart")))

I think all these methods and workarounds are enough for your application to run in background forever.
