Could not start activity from service (com.android.server.am.ExtraActivityManagerService: MIUILOG- Permission Denied Activity)

Device: Xiaomi Redmi 4A, Android 7, MIUI 10.

Code for running activity from service:

String pkgName = context.getPackageName();
Intent intent = new Intent(context, main_activity.class);
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY);
intent.setPackage(pkgName);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(pkgName, main_activity.class.getName()));
startActivity(intent);

does not do anything. In logcat there are following messages:

Solution

  • Solution that helped to me:

    • Building apk in release version, not in debug version.

    As turned out MIUI blocks starting activities from service for debug applications.

    There are recommendations ( Just turn on the "Start in background" permission, Manually enable background pop-up permission ) to give to the app Start in foreground, Display pop-up window permissions. But this does not change anything in my case.
