I have to say I have read the tutorials and threads concerning the Automatic Foreground Mode, and I am confused.
My first question is this. If my app calls a service to start in Foreground mode, do I have to add or change any code at all?
My second question is:
If I start a service simply by calling it from an activity, to I add the Service.StopAutomaticForeground line into the Service_Start sub like this, with nothing more required?
Answers to these two scenarios at least will get me started ...
