Android Question StopAutomaticForeground And Sticky service

[coslad]

Is StopAutomaticForeground applicable even to Sticky service ?

 

[Erel]

Sticky services are less useful in newer versions of Android. The OS will not keep them running.

If the task is important then you should use a foreground service.

Is StopAutomaticForeground applicable even to Sticky service ?

Automatic foreground state is only entered when a service is started from a receiver. This is not the case with sticky services, when they start because of their "stickiness". So StopAutomaticForeground will not do anything in that case.
