Android Question Create an autobooting background service like WhatsApp

[Alessandra Pellegri]

Hello,
I read somewhere in this forum that Android doesn't allow autobooting for background services. So how may I create something like WhatsApp ?

Thank you

Maybe this is what you are looking for: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-service-long-running-background-tasks.27065/

And also enable Start at boot:

#Region  Service Attributes 
    #StartAtBoot: True
    #StartCommandReturnValue: android.app.Service.START_STICKY
#End Region

Whatsapp does not use any service which runs at boottime...
Whatsapp is using FCM

If you want to start your service at boot time.. Use a service other than the starter service and set start at boot to true here.
