Play a sound loop when push notification arrived

I have following problem: I search a soluten where i can play a sound loop when a push notification arrived. The sound should play every 5 secounds until the user brings the app into focus again.

Whats the best and reliable way to do this? It should have the lowest possible latency.

Should i use Services? The used android versions goes from 5 - 11 (all coded in Java, Push notifications comes from Pushy not FCM)

Thanks for any reply :)

Solution

  • You'd better use Android's AlarmManager

    According to the documentation:

    AlarmManager provides access to the system alarm services. These allow you to schedule your application to be run at some point in the future.
