Run a service in background continuously


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);
    }
}

Solution

  • 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;
    }
    }
