Task stops working after 3 minutes on android 14

[Beckmann0o]

Hi guys, I'm trying to set up a task that can be done every 30 seconds, the idea is to run constantly. The problem is that in versions prior to Android 14 it works fine, but in Android 14 it works for 3 minutes and the application stops working. I think it may be because of the declared service type android:foregroundServiceType="shortService", maybe if I change the service type the task could run for longer, did anyone have the same problem?

Thank you very much!

I am also facing the same issue, I have changed to foregroundServiceType, it's working for the first time but not everytime. Did you found any solutions @Beckmann0o ?

Can you show your adb logs?

I think you can try change your fouregroundServiceType to syncData to take longer task

También tengo el mismo problema. Cambié a closeupServiceType y funciona la primera vez, pero no siempre. ¿Encontraste alguna solución?@Beckmann0o?

Hello bro, I was able to make it run continuously by adding foreground type in the Android manifest, the problem is that when the screen is turned off for several hours the OS kills the service. Did you have any progress? I leave how to configure the manifest:
<service android:name="com.asterinet.react.bgactions.RNBackgroundActionsTask" android:foregroundServiceType="connectedDevice|dataSync|location">

Hola chicos, estoy intentando configurar una tarea que se pueda realizar cada 30 segundos, la idea es que se ejecute constantemente. El problema es que en versiones anteriores a Android 14 funciona bien, pero en Android 14 funciona durante 3 minutos y la aplicación deja de funcionar. Creo que puede ser por el tipo de servicio declarado android:foregroundServiceType="shortService", tal vez si cambio el tipo de servicio la tarea podría ejecutarse por más tiempo, ¿alguien tuvo el mismo problema?
¡Muchas gracias!

¿Puedes mostrar tus registros adb?

Creo que puedes intentar cambiar tu fouregroundServiceType a syncData para que tarde más en realizar una tarea.

Hello, I already have it configured as follows:

It works fine as long as the screen does not remain off for several hours, at which point the OS kills my service.

Hello, I changed the service type in the Android manifest and got it to work continuously but when the screen is off for several hours the OS kills the service, I am trying to solve that problem. I'll give you my current configuration in the manifest for the type of service.

<service android:name="com.asterinet.react.bgactions.RNBackgroundActionsTask" android:foregroundServiceType="connectedDevice|dataSync|location">

Hi @chowdhury-abhishek @carozo @Beckmann0o @devtyty

While the app is in the background, the microphone isn't working. However, it functions properly when the app is in the foreground, where both camera and microphone permissions are granted.

how can i solve this ?

I’m facing an issue where the microphone stops working when the app is in the background, even though the camera and microphone permissions are correctly granted when the app is in the background and it functions properly when the app is in foreground.

Can you please assist in resolving this? It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help or provide any guidance on how to fix this behavior.

Thanks in advance!

@devtyty Yes, I have tried the app, but it keeps crashing on samsung and moto devices

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC" />

<application>
    <service android:name=".RNBackgroundActionsTask" android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync|camera|microphone"/>

</application>

Can you show adb logs crash?

I think it maybe missing some permissions.

You must be make sure request permission audio before start foreground service.
