Making Our Service a Foreground Service - MVVM Running Tracker App - Part 12

Before starting service from the fragment it also make sense to check if Notifications are NOT disabled for this app and Backround Mode is allowed as well. Otherwise - show dialog that navigates the user to the Settings. (Similar to EasyPermission logic)

If you try to follow this tutorial in 2023, you need to fix some points by yourself. In TrackingService, PendingIntent needs not only FLAG_UPDATE_FRAGMENT but also FLAG_IMMUTABLE. And notification system has been changed a lot. At least you have to add POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission to manifest.

Anyone, who are doing this course and get crashing after activity was closed. As i using databinding, my navHostFragment looks like:
navHostFragment = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.navHostFragment) as NavHostFragment

So, i did "private lateinit var navHostFragment: NavHostFragment" before OnCreate() and calling "navigateToTrackingFragmentIfNeeded(intent)" in OnCreate() after i initializing navHostFragment

For those who struggle with android 13

1.Just add POST_NOTIFICATIONS and FOREGROUND_SERVICE permissions to manifest.

2. Add request permission at runtime (for POST_NOTIFICATIONS) before sendCommandToService

Amazing explanation and example, thank you Philipp!

Hello @Phi, I hope you are well, thank you very much for your content, it has helped me a lot.

On the other hand I am implementing this notification logic but I am using jetpack compose and I don't know how to launch the onNewIntent from compose, if you can offer me a guide I would really appreciate it.

why singleTop is needed if you have already set "singleTask" launch mode in the manifest file?

Thanks you very much! Very good tutorial. Is there a way to implement this for API Level 17 (below OREO, without notificationmanager)

Wow that was great explantation, keep going from London

Thank you Phillip! very useful content!

When I click on the notification, it's opening a new instance of the activity, instead of opening the one already running. Does anyone know how to solve?

Great Tutorial

I love you how I never had loved before

in 15 minutes the service was killed. Please I want to run a service that will not be killed
because I want to check changes from a server and notify a user. How Can I do that

Epic!

Hello Philipp there is a problem with foreground service in some devices there is a saving battery mode called (ultra power saving mode) that kill all services even the foreground service after the mode is turned off there is no way to tell the foreground service to restart again automatically even broadcast receivers will not work anymore after that mode like bootcomplited please if you can help i will be very thankful

clicking on notfication always keep me back to my home fragment .. Android don't give a f... about my graph action ... I'm turning mad !

awesome android tutorial. you explain every detail of any function which is GREAT ❤, so we don't need to pause the video in order to do some research about it.

The perfect android tutorials do exist <3

for who face foreground service permission error for api 28+
Add this to manifest :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

amazing bro !!

What about a download notification with ETA and a cancel button?

I can't believe I never saw this channel before.
You deserve my Subscription.
Keep up the good work!

Nice Tutorial, can you provide this in Java ?

Exactyl what i needed

Great tutorial, but how do you import your constants? I can only complete with the class prefixed...

Great tutorial, you really make complex easy

why when I close the application the notification is gone(real device).

Simply Awesome kudos to explination

You're awesome Philipp, I'd like to watch this video thousand times again and again! seriously! :))))

Learned alot of new thing dude thanks for this series.

my favorite teacher really you Deserve all the support

Super informative video

Very good and clear explanation on foreground service and notification. Thank you!!

Are you magician? You really blown me away with your explanation. How could you be so clear and precise while explaining. Just really awesome. Enjoying a lott.............

you could use deeplink to navigate to a specific fragment

Great tutorial! I appreaciate your work so much!

Why can't we create getTrac
kingPendingIntent() in setContentIntent instead of using getMainActivityPendingIntent() and then launching TrackingFragment.

You're great bro!

setAutoCancel and setOnGoing don't seem to be necessary if you're starting a foreground service. I was running the foreground service without these options and notification was not swipable nor did it disappear when clicked.

My Oppo kills all the foreground services. Say hello to Chinese manufacturers

Great Video!!

Now I'm clear in foreground and background services with notification and navigation Intent :) nice explanation brother.
