I am developing app which sends SMS on active call ends.

I have taken all the runtime permissions if its above Marshmallow too from MainActivity.
My Receiver :
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.d("BootTest : ", "\nOnBootReceiver - Received a broadcast!");
Toast.makeText(context, "InstaPromo Is Ready !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
{
context.startForegroundService(new Intent(context, MonitorService.class));
}
else
{
context.startService(new Intent(context, MonitorService.class));
}
}
}
Implemented receiver runtime as :
public class MonitorService extends Service
{
// Notification variables
private BroadcastReceiver mCallBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
String action = intent.getAction();
if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"))
{
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING))
{
Log.d("RECEIVER X: ", "INCOMING CALL...");
}
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE))
{
Log.d("RECEIVER X: ", "CALL ENDS HERE...");
Intent Dispatcher = new Intent(context, SendText.class);
startService(Dispatcher);
}
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK))
{
Log.d("RECEIVER X: ", "ACTIVE CALL GOING ON...");
}
}
}
};
public MonitorService() { }
@Override
public void onCreate()
{
super.onCreate();
// created notification here
// also registered broadcast receiver here
mBuilder.setChannelId(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID);
startForeground(17, mBuilder.build());
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
Log.d("WatchMan : ", "\nmCallBroadcastReceiver Listening....");
//return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
this.unregisterReceiver(mCallBroadcastReceiver);
Log.d("WatchMan : ", "\nDestroyed....");
Log.d("WatchMan : ", "\nWill be created again....");
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
// TODO: Return the communication channel to the service.
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}
}
Broadcastreceiver works fine from service class; even if App removed from recent app list, But If removed from recents then on next boot_complete it never calls receiver again. If App is not removed from recents... then on every boot_complete / quick boot it gets triggered and broadcast-receiver works perfectly. I have tried android:exclude_from_recents..., But it is not the way to achieve it.Can someone please help me to resolve this situation. Thanks
Update 2
I have studied Firebase JobDispatcher documentation over github and used it as belows :
public class MyJobService extends JobService
{
@Override
public boolean onStartJob(JobParameters job)
{
// Do some work here
Log.d("MY_JOB :", "STARTED HERE... \n");
return false;
// Answers the question: "Is there still work going on?"
}
@Override
public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters job)
{
Log.d("MY_JOB :", "STOPPED HERE... \n");
return true;
// Answers the question: "Should this job be retried?"
}
}
FirebaseJobDispatcher dispatcher = new FirebaseJobDispatcher(new GooglePlayDriver(MainActivity.this));
Bundle myExtrasBundle = new Bundle();
myExtrasBundle.putString("some_key", "some_value");
Job myJob = dispatcher.newJobBuilder()
// the JobService that will be called
.setService(MyJobService.class)
// uniquely identifies the job
.setTag("my-unique-tag")
// one-off job
.setRecurring(false)
// don't persist past a device reboot
.setLifetime(Lifetime.FOREVER)
// start between 0 and 60 seconds from now
.setTrigger(Trigger.executionWindow(10, 10+2))
// don't overwrite an existing job with the same tag
.setReplaceCurrent(false)
// retry with exponential backoff
.setRetryStrategy(RetryStrategy.DEFAULT_EXPONENTIAL)
// constraints that need to be satisfied for the job to run
.setConstraints(
// only run when device is idle
Constraint.DEVICE_IDLE
)
.setExtras(myExtrasBundle)
.build();
dispatcher.mustSchedule(myJob);
How to set these tags to get started on BOOT / REBOOT and only once, try if fails to start, do not start again ..?
Use FirebaseJobDispatcher to restart your service after every boot. For more on JobDispatcher please see this.
