Android: Foreground Service works on Foreground but not on Background #632

matheusyuri7 · 2023-01-02T18:06:35Z

Please somebody save me!!

I'm trying to run a background service to get the user's location.
I tried to follow the notifee's documentation and the service works in foreground, but it doesn't when the app is in background

Note: I'm using function and hooks

**notifee.registerForegroundService((notification) => {
console.log("notification ", notification);
return new Promise(() => {
// Long running task...
myLoop();
function myLoop() {
var i =0;
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('hello ', i);
i++;
if (i < 10) {
myLoop();
Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
(position) => {
console.log("position ",position);
},
(error) => {
// See error code charts below.
console.log(error.code, error.message);
},
{ enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 15000, maximumAge: 10000 }
);
}
}, 2000)
}
});
});

async function onDisplayNotification() {

  notifee.stopForegroundService();
  // Request permissions (required for iOS)
  await notifee.requestPermission();

  // Create a channel (required for Android)
  const channelId = await notifee.createChannel({
    id: 'default',
    name: 'Default Channel',
  });

  // Display a notification
  await notifee.displayNotification({
    title: 'Fitness Challenge',
    subtitle: 'Walk/Run',
    body:
      '0.02 km / 3 kcal',
    android: {
      channelId,
      asForegroundService: true,
      color: '#9A1E15',
      smallIcon: 'ic_notifications',
      actions: [
        {
          title: 'Pause',
          pressAction: { id: 'pause' },
        },
      ],
    },
  });
}**

Note: I already added the line below in Android.Manifest but it still doens't work

**<service android:name="app.notifee.core.ForegroundService" android:foregroundServiceType="location|camera|microphone" />**

please stop mentioning everybody 😅I don't have a role here
I get you are frustrated but that's not a good way to get attention
but anyway, please format your code properly
and please mention what do you expect to happen vs what is happening, so maintainers can help you when they see this

matheusyuri7 · 2023-01-02T18:48:25Z

Sorry @meypod. I'm new in this stuff and don't know exactly how it works yet. Hope you have a wonderful new year

matheusyuri7 · 2023-01-02T18:54:43Z

I closed this issue by accident, but I will appreciate a lot if somebody helps me :)

helenaford · 2023-01-03T16:22:16Z

have you searched the issues for anything similar? What happens when the app is in the background? you say it doesn't work, can you describe in more detail?

medonagy45 · 2023-01-05T14:51:24Z

Hi ,
I am facing the same issue ,the logs stops once the application loses focus and that is the log from logcat

D/DecorView[]: onWindowFocusChanged hasWindowFocus true
E/libprocessgroup: set_timerslack_ns write failed: Operation not permitted

the application shows the notification but the code doesn't run no logs nothing runs till it is back to foreground

medonagy45 · 2023-01-05T22:31:21Z

I found out that the foreground service runs find and the issue is with setinterval I have used this package https://github.com/ocetnik/react-native-background-timer and it works fine now

helenaford · 2023-01-09T12:21:17Z

@medonagy45 thanks for sharing your solution. Will close as it seems that issue is outside of notifee.

i fixed it with adding the following in the AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION" />
