Android Question Converted to API 34

[so27]

Hello everyone,

I use a notification with buttons in my app. When this button is clicked, my app opens. This has worked without any problems until now. Since the changeover to API 34, this log appears:

java.lang.RuntimeException: android.app.MissingForegroundServiceTypeException: Starting FGS without a type  callerApp=ProcessRecord{777a85a 7054:XY.XX.APPNAME/u0a190} targetSDK=34

I always started my window with in the service:

Startactivity(NAME)

It must also be possible with the new API to open an app from the notification. With SetWhenLook, I have always been able to open my app successfully before the lock screen.

will help here.

Adding the foregroundServiceType attribute to your service declaration may help:

<service
android:name=".YourService"
android:foregroundServiceType="mediaPlayback" />

I always started my window with in the service:

This requires the "draw over apps" permission since Android 10.

Draw on top of other apps permission

Starting from Android 6 a special permission is required if you want to use the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission. This permission is not related to the runtime permissions. You can put this code in a class to check whether your app has permission and open the settings page if needed: Sub...
