Add my app to AutoStart apps list in android programmatically
I want my app to be in the autostart list after installation.
I know when I install an app like (whatsapp) it goes automatically to the autostart list. I want my app to be the same
I tried the code in this question How to Autostart an Android Application?
but unfortunately non of the answers actually made the app autostart.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong
the reason that I need the app be autostart is just to get notifications from the webservice. as the app does not get notifications unless its open or autostart is on
would appreciate your help
thanks
Few popular apps run in background without being killed during memory cleanup cycle (many of the popular OEMs customize the stack ROM for battery/memory optimization), because they are "White listed" by these manufactures. For your app you can whitelist it either manually (via corresponding "settings" for the devices) or pragmatically by redirecting users to the corresponding settings page to white list the app.
Please have a look for details here
