Run a service in background continuously. For example, a service has to be kicked off which will display a toast message 20 seconds once even if the app is closed.
public class AppService extends IntentService {
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return START_STICKY;
}
public AppService() {
super("AppService");
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent workIntent) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "hai", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
SystemClock.sleep(20000);
}
}
Below code works for me...
public class AppService extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, " MyService Created ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(this, " MyService Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return START_STICKY;
}
}
