I am downloading multiple files one after the other in service. I want to update download progress in notification. But my notification doesn't update when I kill my app. Download works on different thread. Download works fine in when app is running. When I kill app from recent section, I am unable to update notification.
Here is my DownloadService class
public class DownloadService extends Service {
public static DownloadMap<String, Downloadables> map = new DownloadMap<String, Downloadables>();
private static Thread thread;
private DownloadCancelReceiver receiver;
public DownloadService() {
}

int serviceId;

private SpeedRevisionDatabase helper;

private RemoteViews remoteViewsSmall, remoteViewsBig;
private NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager;
private NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder, mBuilderComplete, downloadFailBuilder;
public BackgroundThread(int serviceId, DownloadMap<String, Downloadables> map) {
this.serviceId = serviceId;
this.map = new DownloadMap<>();
this.map.putAll(map);
}
@Override

public int insertedCount;

}
}
}
And From activity I start service like this.
ArrayList<Downloadables> list = helper.GetVideoFileList();
Intent intent1 = new Intent(SRDownloadActivity.this, DownloadService.class);
intent1.putExtra("downloadList", list);
startService(intent1);
I can even Add files to HashMap while downloading is in progress. It also worked fine.
I am unable to figure it out why it is not running in background since it is on different thread.
Here is my notification look like
Threads are killed by the Android OS even if the main app is still working and they dont have access to the UI thats why u should use AsyncTask class its a like a thread that works in background but it has access to the UI of the main. And the jobdispatcher class can help u assign jobs in the background
Here is a good tutorial https://youtu.be/das7FmQIGik
