Background Service Launch

class GodActivity : AppCompatActivity {

    override fun onStart() {
        with(ProcessLifecycleOwner.get()) {
            lifecycleScope.launch {
                lifecycle.repeatOnLifecycle(Lifecycle.State.RESUMED) {
                    startService()
                }
            }
        }
    }

    priavte suspend fun startService() {
        try {
            exponentialRetry {
                context.startService(
                    Intent(
                        context,
                        WebSocketService::class.java,
                    )
                )
            }

        } catch (e1: CancellationException) {
            // user has gone to the background before service was suceessflly started
            // the scope has beeen closed along with the process hence we cannot start a background service
        } catch (e2: IllegalStateException) {
            log(e2)
        }
    }
}

1. Start the service inside the process lifecycle scope — resumed or started state.
2. Wrap the call itself in try-catch to convert a fatal crash into non-fatal.
3. Put the call itself inside a loop or exponential retry logic.
4. Make sure to handle scope cancelation exception so that no false-positive crashes are spamming your log server.

Foreground Service

class MyForeroundService: Service() {

    override fun onBind(p0: Intent?): IBinder? { return null }
    override fun onStartCommand(intent: Intent?, flag: Int, startId: Int): Int {
        when (intent?.action) {
            ACTION_START_SERVICE -> {
                isRunning = true
                startAsForegroundService()
                
            }
            ACTION_STOP_SERVICE -> {
                isRunning = false
                stopForeground(true)
                stopSelf()
            }
        }
                   
        return START_STICKY
    }

    companion object {
        var isRunning = false
        const val ACTION_START_SERVICE = "ACTION_START_SERVICE"
        const val ACTION_STOP_SERVICE = "ACTION_STOP_SERVICE"
    }

    private fun startAsForegroundService() {
        val activityPendingIntent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java).let {
            it.flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
            PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, it, 0)
        }
        val notification: Notification =
                    NotificatoinCompat.Builder(this, NotificationConstants.SOUND_SERVICE_CHANNEL_ID)
                        .setContentIntent(activityPendingIntent)
                        .setOngoing(true)
                        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_service)
                        .setContentTitle("Foreground Service")
                        .setContentText("Foreground service is running")
                        .build()
                        
                startForeground(1, notification) 
    }
}
