Hi,
I had a problem for which there was no solution:
Somehow I managed to get a service to run in the "foreground" under Android 13 (API 33). What's interesting is that this service doesn't stop, even if I stop the application and the "start at boot" works. Of course it has the message that the running service is in the background, but the user can turn it off, so it is not confusing.
And with the timed receiver I can call this service and the http request works in the background.
Maybe I misunderstood something, but I took it to mean that foreground services can't really be used anymore, because they don't run in the "fixed" foreground anymore.
This is the code for my service:
I'm testing it now, but is it possible to use API 33 to use service ?

Receivers and Services in 2023+
In the early days of Android services were simple to use and powerful. They allowed doing all kinds of things in the backgrounds with very few restrictions. That's not the case with newer versions of Android. With a few exceptions (that aren't 100% reliable), the only use case for services is to...
This is the code for my service:
MainService:

#StartAtBoot: True
#End Region

'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
End Sub

notification.Initialize
notification.Initialize2(notification.IMPORTANCE_MIN)
notification.Icon = "icon"
notification.Light = False
notification.Vibrate = False
notification.Sound = False
'notification.OnGoingEvent = True
'notification.AutoCancel = False
notification.SetInfo(Application.LabelName, "Service running", Main)
Service.AutomaticForegroundMode = Service.AUTOMATIC_FOREGROUND_ALWAYS
Service.AutomaticForegroundNotification = notification
End Sub

End SubI'm testing it now, but is it possible to use API 33 to use service ?
